Subject: [PATCH v2] mfd: cros_ec: Separate charge-control probing from
 USB-PD

The charge-control subsystem in the ChromeOS EC is not strictly tied to
its USB-PD subsystem.
Since commit 7613bc0d116a ("mfd: cros_ec: Don't load charger with UCSI")
the presence of EC_FEATURE_UCSI_PPM would inhibit the probing of the
charge-control driver.
Furthermore recent versions of the EC firmware in Framework laptops
hard-disable EC_FEATURE_USB_PD to avoid probing cros-usbpd-charger,
which then also breaks cros-charge-control.

Instead use the dedicated EC_FEATURE_CHARGER.
