This driver adds support for Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework
(DPTF) Platform Power Participant device support.
This participant is responsible for exposing platform telemetry such as
platform Power, battery Information such as state of Charge, estimated
maximum sustainable power (PMax), SMART battery spec information.

This driver is implemented as a platform driver for INT3407 and presented
as power_supply device. Since this has common features with the ACPI
battery, existing interface provide by battery_common driver are reused
to present as a battery power supply device.

Since this driver will also register a battery power supply device,this
driver will exit if CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY is defined.

There are two types of objects in INT3407:
- Same as ACPI Battery objects: _BST and _BIX. These are exposed as
standard power supply attributes.
- Specific to INT3407, which are related to platform power
There are some objects, for which it doesn't make sense to enhance
power_supply class and add attributes there. They are represented as
sysfs attribute under acpi device. Here the bid for INT3407 is TPWR
in the following example.
/sys/class/power_supply/TPWR
├── alarm
├── capacity
├── capacity_level
├── cycle_count
├── device -> ../../../INT3407:00
│   ├── dptf_power
│   │   ├── adapter_rating
│   │   ├── battery_steady_power
│   │   ├── charger_type
│   │   ├── max_platform_power
│   │   ├── platform_power_source
│   │   ├── power_sampling_period

For example representing AC/adapter properties as a power_supply
properties will not make sense for a battery device. In some case
when there is an existing property, the meaning is different.
For example charger_type has a equivalent power_supply property,
which has different symantics than INT3407.

ACPI methods description used in this driver:
PSOC: Platform Battery State Of Charge as a percentage.
PMAX: Maximum platform power that can be supported by the battery in mW.
PSRC: System charge source,
	0x00 = DC
	0x01 = AC
	0x02 = USB
	0x03 = Wireless Charger
ARTG: Adapter rating in mW (Maximum Adapter power) Must be 0 if no AC
	Adaptor is plugged in.
CTYP: Charger Type,
	Traditional : 0x01
	Hybrid: 0x02
	NVDC: 0x03
PBSS: Returns max sustained power for battery in milliWatts.
DPSP: Sets the polling interval in 10ths of seconds. A value of 0 tells
	the driver to use event notification for PMAX and PBSS

After a closer look, distros won't like this.

They need to have a binary image that will work on all systems, so they need
to be able to build both modules at the same time.

I guess the DPTF one can be made look if there is a driver attached to the
battery device object already and bail out if that's the case.
