PATCH 1/1 power/max8925: freeing wrong variable

We were freeing "info->battery" instead of "info->usb", which leads to an OOps and a resource leak.

The labels were wonky, "out_battery" did release the battery but out_usb did not release usb. I was introducing a call to free usb so it sort conflicted with existing misleading name. I renamed them.

Hi,

We were freeing "info->battery" instead of "info->usb", which leads to an OOps and a resource leak.

The labels were wonky, "out_battery" did release the battery but out_usb did not release usb. I was introducing a call to free usb so it sort conflicted with existing misleading name. I renamed them.

Thanks, queued.
