[PATCH] power: supply: max17040: drop incorrect I2C functionality check

[Jianing Li]

max17040_probe() rejects adapters that do not advertise
I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE. The driver does not issue SMBus byte transactions,
however. Its regmap has 8-bit registers and 16-bit big-endian values, for
which regmap-i2c supports either raw I2C transfers or SMBus word-data
transactions.

Consequently, an adapter providing raw I2C transfers or SMBus word data
but not SMBus byte transactions is rejected even though regmap can access
the device. Conversely, the current check can pass an adapter that regmap
cannot use.

Drop the stale check and let devm_regmap_init_i2c() validate and select
the supported transfer method.
