power: supply: Drop use_cnt check from power_supply_property_is_writeable()
power_supply_property_is_writeable() gets called from the is_visible()
callback for the sysfs attributes of power_supply class devices and for
the sysfs attributes of power_supply core instantiated hwmon class devices.
These sysfs attributes get registered by the device_add() respectively
power_supply_add_hwmon_sysfs() calls in power_supply_register().
use_cnt gets initialized to 0 and is incremented only after these calls.
So when power_supply_property_is_writeable() gets called it always return
-ENODEV because of use_cnt == 0.
This causes all the attributes to have permissions of 444 even those which
should be writable. This used to be a problem only for hwmon sysfs
attributes but since commit be6299c ("power: supply: sysfs: use
power_supply_property_is_writeable()") this now also impacts power_supply
class sysfs attributes.
Fixes: be6299c ("power: supply: sysfs: use power_supply_property_is_writeable()")
Fixes: e67d4df ("power: supply: Add HWMON compatibility layer")
