power: supply: sbs-battery: add ability to disable charger broadcasts
In certain designs, it is possible to add a battery on a populated i2c bus without an sbs compliant charger. In that case, the battery will unnecessarily and sometimes undesirably master the bus trying to write info in the charger. It is observed in many occasion that these battery "broadcasts" are even corrupting other ongoing master to slave communication. I.e. the multi-master support in the battery is inadequate. Thankfully, the CHARGER_MODE bit allows designers to disable that SBS battery behaviour. This needs to be done once when the battery is first seen on the bus.
