power: supply: ab8500: Defer thermal zone probe
[ Upstream commit 767e684367e4759d9855b184045b7a9d6b19acd2 ]
The call thermal_zone_get_zone_by_name() used to return the
thermal zone right away, but recent refactorings in the
thermal core has changed this so the thermal zone used by
the battery is probed later, and the call returns -ENODEV.
This was always quite fragile. If we get -ENODEV, then
return a -EPROBE_DEFER and try again later.
