During unbinding the driver was dereferencing a pointer to memory
already freed by power_supply_unregister().
Driver was freeing its internal description of battery through pointers
stored in power_supply structure. However, because the core owns the
power supply instance, after calling power_supply_unregister() the
driver cannot access these members.
Fix this by using resource-managed allocations so internal data will be
freed by pointers stored in resource-managed core.
