Add MAX17048 fuel gauge support.

Tested by comparing battery capacity readings between upstream (mainline
max17040 driver) and downstream (Samsung max17048_fuelgauge driver)
across a full discharge cycle. Upstream reads ~3% lower throughout. Both
track the discharge curve correctly:

Upstream: 95 92 88 87 86 87 83 82 80 68 60 55 50 45 40 35 30 20 16 10 10 5 5 1
Downstream: 95 94 92 91 91 89 87 86 84 73 64 59 51 48 43 38 33 23 17 14 12 8 6 3

Each pair of readings was collected by checking the upstream capacity
first, then moving the battery to a second expressatt running downstream
Android to check its capacity. The battery was then moved back to the
upstream device for the next reading. This swap occasionally caused the
upstream capacity to read slightly higher than the previous value
(e.g. 86 -> 87). When this happened, the reading was retaken after the
value settled.
