The maximum amount of input current the charger should draw is dependent on the power supply and should only be (re-)configured when the power supply gets connected and disconnected. However the driver was also lowering the bq24257's input current limit setting to 500mA when the battery was removed and restored the previous setting according to the power supply capabilities when the battery was reconnected although these events are not impacting the amount of power that can be drawn from the supply. Furthermore, a re-configuration of the input current limit to 500mA when the battery gets disconnected is actually dangerous if the limit was set higher previously and the system draws more than 500mA in which case the system voltage would be reduced in order to maintain 500mA which could result in the system getting too low of a supply to maintain operation. Last but not least the mechanism itself used for battery re-connection detection did not work in corner cases such as when the device's input current loop becomes active and the bq24257 device clears its battery fault error resulting in incorrectly reporting that the battery got reconnected. This patches removes the impact the battery removal/insertion has on the input current limit configured for the bq24257 and simplifies the associated handler routine.
