power: supply: bq24190_charger: Don't read fault register outside irq_handle_thread()
Caching the fault register after a single I2C read may not keep an accurate
value.
Fix by doing two reads in irq_handle_thread() and using the cached value
elsewhere. If a safety timer fault later clears itself, we apparently don't get
an interrupt (INT), however other interrupts would refresh the register cache.
From the data sheet: "When a fault occurs, the charger device sends out INT
and keeps the fault state in REG09 until the host reads the fault register.
Before the host reads REG09 and all the faults are cleared, the charger
device would not send any INT upon new faults. In order to read the
current fault status, the host has to read REG09 two times consecutively.
The 1st reads fault register status from the last read [1] and the 2nd reads
the current fault register status."
[1] presumably a typo; should be "last fault"
