[PATCH 1/1] power: supply: sbs-battery: Add ability to force load a battery via the devicetree

[Richard Tresidder <rtresidd@electromag.com.au>]

Add the ability to force load a hot pluggable battery during boot where
there is no gpio detect method available and the module is statically
built. Normal polling will then occur on that battery when it is inserted.
