[PATCH 1/2] power_supply: allow control of attribute visibility

[Daniel Drake]

A power supply driver could support a certain attribute that is not
available at runtime (e.g. because the specific host doesn't support
that functionality).

Add a mechanism for power supplies to be able to specify this.
