Yes, power_supply_attrs is a global array, and you shouldn't change
it between power_supply_register() calls.

If you don't see why it's a bad idea in general, think about it
other way, a race:

...someone registers psy0 with attr X marked as read-only...
...code flow stops before device_create_file(psy0, global->mode)..
[preempt]
...someone registers psy1 with attr X marked as writable...
...you set up global->mode to 0644...
[preempt again]
...we end up calling device_create_file(psy0, 0644)...
