Subject: [PATCH] power: generic-adc-battery: check for duplicate properties
 copied from iio channels

If an iio channel defines a basic property, there are duplicate entries
in /sys/class/power/*/uevent.

So add a check to avoid duplicates. Since all channels may be duplicates,
we have to modify the related error check.
