chipidea core populates ci->usb_phy when phys is used.

The charger detection function only checks data->usb_phy, so they
don't see ci->usb_phy that was populated by the chipidea core.

We could change the signature of all charger detection functions to
receive struct ci_hdrc *ci, but that will be a huge patch that will
probably not meet
the stable requirements, so I think to minimally fix stable we should
go with the proposed fix I suggested.
