Note we don't have a battery number in BATx, strcmp would return 1 if
battery->desc->name is "BAT0" or any one digit. This is a desired
behavior where some Huawei laptops identify the first battery as "BAT1"
and this would match if name is greater than "BAT" by one digit.
Maybe strcmp(battery->desc->name, "BAT") < 0 is a better way to go.

Now this would always return ENODEV.
