Subject: [PATCH] power: bq27xxx_battery: avoid unused function warnings

We can configure the bq27xxx_battery driver with neither the I2C
nor the platform driver backends, which leaves out all references
to some of the symbols, causing a couple of warnings in many
randconfig builds:

drivers/power/bq27xxx_battery.c:288:12: warning: 'bq27xxx_regs' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]
drivers/power/bq27xxx_battery.c:994:12: warning: 'bq27xxx_powersupply_init' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
drivers/power/bq27xxx_battery.c:1029:13: warning: 'bq27xxx_powersupply_unregister' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

I first tried replacing the existing #ifdefs with if(IS_ENABLED()
statements, but that failed because the i2c framework does not
declare functions when they are left out of the kernel.

This just marks the unused functions as __maybe_unused, which is
a correct description here. A better fix would be to restructure
the driver into separate files and only build the common parts
if at least one of the two bus specific drivers is enabled, but
that requires much more work and testing on real hardware.

For the time being, my simpler change at least avoids the warnings.
