Hans de Goede 6b7564536f power: supply: Drop use_cnt check from power_supply_property_is_writeable()
commit 78f281e5bd upstream.

power_supply_property_is_writeable() gets called from the is_visible()
callback for the sysfs attributes of power_supply class devices and for
the sysfs attributes of power_supply core instantiated hwmon class devices.

These sysfs attributes get registered by the device_add() respectively
power_supply_add_hwmon_sysfs() calls in power_supply_register().

use_cnt gets initialized to 0 and is incremented only after these calls.
So when power_supply_property_is_writeable() gets called it always return
-ENODEV because of use_cnt == 0.

This causes all the attributes to have permissions of 444 even those which
should be writable. This used to be a problem only for hwmon sysfs
attributes but since commit be6299c6e5 ("power: supply: sysfs: use
power_supply_property_is_writeable()") this now also impacts power_supply
class sysfs attributes.

Fixes: be6299c6e5 ("power: supply: sysfs: use power_supply_property_is_writeable()")
Fixes: e67d4dfc9f ("power: supply: Add HWMON compatibility layer")
