power: supply: bq27xxx: fix error return in case of no bq27000 hdq battery
commit 2c334d038466ac509468fbe06905a32d202117db upstream. Since commit commit f16d9fb6cf03 ("power: supply: bq27xxx: Retrieve again when busy") the console log of some devices with hdq enabled but no bq27000 battery (like e.g. the Pandaboard) is flooded with messages like: [ 34.247833] power_supply bq27000-battery: driver failed to report 'status' property: -1 as soon as user-space is finding a /sys entry and trying to read the "status" property. It turns out that the offending commit changes the logic to now return the value of cache.flags if it is <0. This is likely under the assumption that it is an error number. In normal errors from bq27xxx_read() this is indeed the case. But there is special code to detect if no bq27000 is installed or accessible through hdq/1wire and wants to report this. In that case, the cache.flags are set historically by commit 3dd843e1 ("bq27000: report missing device better.") to constant -1 which did make reading properties return -ENODEV. So everything appeared to be fine before the return value was passed upwards. Now the -1 is returned as -EPERM instead of -ENODEV, triggering the error condition in power_supply_format_property() which then floods the console log. So we change the detection of missing bq27000 battery to simply set cache.flags = -ENODEV instead of -1.
