Renaming is not an option - "current" is an electronic term for which
there is no alternative.  The real problem is this __ATTR macro crap:

+       __ATTR(current, 0444, regulator_uA_show, NULL),

#define __ATTR(_name,_mode,_show,_store) { \
        .attr = {.name = __stringify(_name), .mode = _mode },   \
        .show   = _show,                                        \
        .store  = _store,                                       \
}

If __ATTR allowed the name to be passed as a string, instead of stupidly
stringifying it, then this wouldn't be needed.  So I suggest that the
#undef stands _until_ we fix this stupid macro.  Or we rename the
"current" macro to something that doesn't clash with accepted scientific
and engineering terminology.
