Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: bq27xxx: fix wrong errno when bus ops are unsupported

bq27xxx_write(), bq27xxx_read_block(), and bq27xxx_write_block()
return -EPERM when the bus callback pointer is NULL. A NULL callback
indicates the operation is not supported by the bus/driver,
not that permission is denied.

Return -EOPNOTSUPP instead of -EPERM when di->bus.write/
read_bulk/write_bulk is NULL.

Fixes: 14073f6614f6 ("power: supply: bq27xxx: Add bulk transfer bus methods")
