The supplied-from device property is the name-based counterpart to
firmware-node power-supplies references. It was added for non-DT platforms,
but its parser is compiled only when CONFIG_OF is disabled. CONFIG_OF is
a global kernel option, so x86 systems commonly enable it even when
individual power supplies are described by software nodes.
Consequently, these consumers never populate supplied_from and supplier
notifications do not reach their external_power_changed() callbacks. On a
Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X91L, ftrace showed the Whiskey Cove supplier
notification running without invoking the BQ25892 callback, leaving the
input current limit at its boot-time value.
Use a single power_supply_check_supplies() implementation for all
configurations. Preserve firmware-node power-supplies references as the
preferred firmware description and use the name-based supplied-from
property only when no references are specified. Continue to honor an
explicitly provided supplied_from list first and propagate errors from
specified firmware references.
With the fix, ftrace shows the BQ25892 callback on hotplug. A boot-offline
test changes its input current limit from 500 mA to 2 A.

Changes in v2:
- Keep firmware-node power-supplies references ahead of the name-based
supplied-from fallback, as requested by Hans.
- Propagate errors while resolving specified firmware references.
- Use one power_supply_check_supplies() implementation, as requested by
Sebastian.
