Simply splitting initialization into two parts won't really help. If you set 
capacity, current, Vchg and refresh the model after registering power supply, 
you will still end up having a short time window with bogus results. Looking 
at other drivers, they seem to deal with it in the same way - they register 
the power supply early, before the driver can fully configure the device.

To actually fix the problem with bogus data on init, it seems like we would 
either need some support from the power supply framework to notify it when can 
it actually start expecting correct data, or have a way to access the battery 
information without having to register power supply beforehand.

Since power_supply_get_battery_info doesn't actually seem to depend on 
power_supply device at all - it uses psy->dev for devm functions and psy-
>of_node to read the data from - I wonder if it could be split into a function 
that only takes an of_node?
