This is going in the right direction in my view, but isn't there just yet.

Details below.

device->flags.dep_present would be better. Or even call the flag dep_unmet.

This check isn't sufficient, because _DEP is supposed to be about operation
regions being present, not about drivers being present. Same for the driver
check below.

I wouldn't bother to check drivers in this stub implementation. ->

-> I'd pass the operation region device to that (and I'd call the function
differently, but that's a detail). Then, I'd just clear flags.dep_unmet
for all devices having that operation region device in their dep_devices
(and drop their entries from the list). It wouldn't cover the case when
one device depends on two operation regions at the same time (in a meaningful
way), but should be sufficient to address the battery problem at hand.
