[RFT/RFC] power_supply: bq2415x_charger: Initialize workqueue before scheduling it

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski
Date: Mon Jul 13 2015 - 20:34:31 EST


The driver during probe registers a power supply notifier
(with bq2415x_notifier_call() callback) and calls it manually right
after. The notifier callback function schedules driver's workqueue
(bq->work).

However the workqueue was initialized after these two events (after
registering power supply notifier and calling manually the callback).

When power supply core notified the driver (executing its
bq2415x_notifier_call() callback) the scheduled workqueue could be
still uninitialized.

I don't have the hardware, please test. Additionally I could not find
the commit which introduced the issue so I did not cc-stable.
