The bq2415x_timer_error called by bq2415x_timer_work when some error
happens, and then calls cancel_delayed_work_sync(&bq->work). Finally
this function is waiting for the work to finish but the work is
waiting for the return of the function. So it causes a deadlock.

The patch is not correct, since bq2415x_sysfs_set_timer() should
call cancel_delayed_work_sync() for the "off" case.
