Isnt there better path for this? There are often symlinks in sysfs that make 
the path shorter and more stable. You cant find them with find /sys | grep xxx 
but find them manually in /sys/class or /sys/bus...

I think there is patch to move max_current to power supply:

I guess you can use full path, but that would be quite fragile in this case.

Maybe the uevent has some info. Sorry i dont have device here now to try nor i 
am any expert in this.
