The work item doesn't queue itself, so this is only used once after
every interrupt. The delay itself is needed because charge state
machine needs some time to switch states and is not yet in expected
state at the time VBUS/AC detect interrupt kicks.

I need to access it from twl4030charger_usb_en().. Could only leave
delayed_work global and allocate everything else in probe() if you
prefer that.

I don't think charging is twl4030-usb's business, also notifying
power_supply core about charge state changes that I do here.

What about just returning early from twl4030charger_usb_en() if this
driver is not started? TWL4030-core requires twl4030_bci_platform_data
to be present to even register this driver, so it won't start on RX51.
RX51 can also choose not to compile this driver in, then
twl4030charger_usb_en() call won't even be done fom twl4030-usb.

I need to do some delayed processing after VBUS/AC detect interrupts
kick, delayed_work looked perfect for this. Also note that I can't get
USB_PRES interrupt (taken by twl4030-usb), only a callback from
twl4030-usb.
