[RFC v2 1/3] power_supply: Define Binding for supplied-nodes

From: Rhyland Klein
Date: Thu Feb 21 2013 - 18:11:12 EST


This property is meant to be used in device nodes which represent
power_supply devices that wish to provide a list of supplies to
which they provide power. A common case is a AC Charger with
the batteries it powers.

v2:
- Changed property to "power-supply" which should be contained in the
battery rather than the charger. Also updated example to match.
