[smartmeter] Failed to normalize configuration

[dominikbenner]

Hi there,

this is the issue from community topic:
https://community.openhab.org/t/error-for-configuration-after-upgrade-to-oh4-failed-to-normalize/148138

After upgrading to OH4 there are two error lines at startup in openhab.log

2023-07-31 14:16:33.159 [WARN ] [core.thing.internal.ThingManagerImpl] - Channel types or config descriptions for thing 'smartmeter:meter:ee5ccf85db' are missing in the respective registry for more than 120s. In case it does not happen immediately after an upgrade, it should be fixed in the binding.

I've tried to delete the thing and recreated it. Nothing changes.

This bindings seems to not define static channels / channel types, so I assume they are created dynamically.
The binding is listed in #14954. So you confirm that a change is required, I note it in the issue.

@msteigenberger : would you like to implement AbstractStorageBasedTypeProvider for the smartmeter binding ?
