power_supply: Add driver private data
Allow drivers to store private data inside power_supply structure for later usage in power supply operations. Usage of driver private data is necessary to access driver's state container object from power supply calls (like get_property()) if struct 'power_supply' is a stored there as a pointer, for example: struct some_driver_info { struct i2c_client *client; struct power_supply *power_supply; ... } In such case one cannot use container_of() and must store pointer to state container as private data.
