This reverts commit b43f7ddc2b7a5a90447d96cb4d3c6d142dd4a810.

The offending commit deferred power-supply class device registration
until the service-started notification is received.

This triggers a NULL pointer dereference during boot of the Lenovo
ThinkPad X13s and SC8280XP CRD as battery status notifications can be
received before the service-start notification:

	Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000005c0
	...

As trying to serialise this is non-trivial and risks missing
notifications, let's revert to registration during probe so that the
driver data is all set up once the service goes live.

The warning message during resume in case the aDSP firmware is not
running that motivated the change can be considered a feature and should
not be suppressed.

Johan and I talked off-list and decided reverting this is the best
way to go forward for now, the problem that my original commit
solved (or well, tried to, anyway) is only an issue with a
configuration that's not quite supported (i.e. missing all
pieces of the puzzle for a functional battmgr) and more work would
need to be put into supporting that. I *may* do it in the future,
but for now both of us need to work on different things.
