The problem I see with this is that this only fixes this for the bq27xxx
driver. The real problem is that during the registration for (di->bat =
power_supply_register...) the core is calling back into the driver being
registered passing it an incomplete struct. As far as I can tell, the
call should never be made in the first place. In fact, for all drivers
that register and support thermal, this should be happening.

Adding Krzysztof Kozlowski who has looked into similar issues recently
it appears.
