bq27x00: Cache battery registers
This patch adds a register cache to the bq27x00 battery driver. Usually multiple, if not all, power_supply properties are queried at once, for example when an uevent is generated. Since some registers are used by multiple properties caching the registers should reduce the number of reads. The cache is valid for 5 seconds this roughly matches the internal update interval of the current register for the bq27000/bq27200. Fast changing properties(*_NOW) which can be obtained by reading a single register are not cached. It will also be used in the follow up patch to check if the battery status has been changed since the last update to emit power_supply_changed events.
