power: supply: bq25890: Add support for having a secondary charger IC



Some devices, such as the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro (YT3-X90F) have multiple
batteries with a separate bq25890 charger for each battery.

This requires some coordination between the chargers specifically
the main charger needs to put the secondary charger in Hi-Z mode when:

1. Enabling its 5V boost (OTG) output to power an external USB device,
   to avoid the secondary charger IC seeing this as external Vbus and
   then trying to charge the secondary battery from this.

2. Talking the Pump Express protocol to increase the external Vbus voltage.
   Having the secondary charger drawing current when the main charger is
   trying to talk the Pump Express protocol results in the external Vbus
   voltage not being raised.

Add a new "linux,secondary-charger-name" string device-property, which
can be set to the power_supply class device's name of the secondary
charger when there is a secondary charger; and make the Vbus regulator and
Pump Express code put the secondary charger in Hi-Z mode when necessary.

So far this new property is only used on x86/ACPI (non devicetree) devs,
IOW it is not used in actual devicetree files. The devicetree-bindings
maintainers have requested properties like these to not be added to the
devicetree-bindings, so the new property is deliberately not added
to the existing devicetree-bindings.
