charger: tps65090: Allow charger module to be used when no irq
On the ARM Chromebook tps65090 has two masters: the AP (the main
processor running linux) and the EC (the embedded controller). The AP
is allowed to mess with FETs but the EC is in charge of charge control.
The tps65090 interupt line is routed to both the AP and the EC, which
can cause quite a headache. Having two people adjusting masks and
acking interrupts is a recipe for disaster.
In the shipping kernel we had a hack to have the AP pay attention to
the IRQ but not to ack it. It also wasn't supposed to configure the
IRQ in any way. That hack allowed us to detect when the device was
charging without messing with the EC's state.
The current tps65090 infrastructure makes the above difficult, and it
was a bit of a hack to begin with. Rather than uglify the driver to
support it, just extend the driver's existing notion of "no irq" to
the charger. This makes the charger code poll every 2 seconds for AC
detect, which is sufficient.
For proper functioning, requires (mfd: tps65090: Don't tell child
devices we have an IRQ if we don't). If we don't have that patch
we'll simply fail to probe on devices without an interrupt (just like
we did before this patch).

[sre@kernel.org: Use -ENXIO instead of NO_IRQ for missing interrupt,
since NO_IRQ is not available on all architectures.]
