Could you be a little more specific here, are you saying if you
reprobe the battery charger device or if you reprobe the I2C
controller itself?

Apologies but I am having a little difficulty working out the
path through which the IRQ is not reinitialised. As I would have
through the battery chargers probe would have reset up the IRQ
then the core would pick it up again from there.

Thanks,
