I think making them part of power_supply_property and re-using
existing functions is sensible.

The question was why you choose (1) over (2), considering that the
struct contains only two pointers.
(1) struct power_supply_charger *psy_charger;
(2) struct power_supply_charger psy_charger;

Right, so don't worry about my comment :)
