If I reprobe the battery charger.

No, this I2C bus driver(i2c-cht-wc) pass the IRQ to charger not throuth
ACPI of OF but by initializing of board_info.irq field, so I2C subsystem
cannot reinitialize irq automatically.

I am not sure if this is right path for IRQ initialization and maybe
should be changed for this driver.
