Before this commit the driver was registering its interrupt handler before it registered the power_supply, causing bq->charger to potentially be NULL when the interrupt handler runs, triggering a NULL pointer exception in the interrupt handler: [ 21.213531] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000680 ...

Fix this by moving the power_supply_register() call to above the request_threaded_irq() call. Note this fix includes making the following 2 (necessary) changes: 1. Switch to the devm version of power_supply_register() to avoid the need to make the error-handling in probe() more complicated. 2. Rename the "irq_fail" label to "err_unregister_usb_notifier" since the old name no longer makes sense after this fix.
