[PATCH] power: supply: bq27xxx_battery: Do not return ENODEV when busy

[Jerry Lv]

Multiple applications may access the device gauge at the same time, so the
gauge may be busy and EBUSY will be returned. The driver will set a flag to
record the EBUSY state, and this flag will be kept until the next periodic
update. When this flag is set, bq27xxx_battery_get_property() will just
return ENODEV until the flag is updated.

Even if the gauge was busy during the last accessing attempt, returning
ENODEV is not ideal, and can cause confusion in the applications layer.

Instead, retry accessing the gauge to update the properties is as expected.
The gauge typically recovers from busy state within a few milliseconds, and
the cached flag will not cause issues while updating the properties.
