The 2024 Magic Trackpad USB-C (PID 0x0324) does not report battery
strength via HID descriptor fields over Bluetooth. Instead it requires
an explicit HID_REQ_GET_REPORT request to retrieve the battery level.
This patch makes the following changes:
1. Replace the battery_timer (timer_list) with battery_work (delayed_work)
so that HID_REQ_GET_REPORT can be issued from a sleepable context.
Timers run in atomic context and cannot block, which caused deadlocks
on the Bluetooth transport path.
2. Extend the fetch guard and probe scheduling block to include the 2024
Magic Trackpad USB-C when connected over Bluetooth (vendor 0x004C,
product 0x0324 via BT_VENDOR_ID_APPLE).
3. Schedule battery_work immediately at probe (delay=0) instead of
issuing a direct magicmouse_fetch_battery() call. The direct call
bypassed the cold-start correction logic and could publish a stale
value before the work handler had a chance to validate it.
4. Add a cold-start
double-poll: the device may return a stale battery
value (e.g. 4%) on the very first GET_REPORT after power-on. On the
first successful poll battery_validated is set and a second poll is
scheduled 3 seconds later to obtain the real value. Subsequent polls
use the normal 60-second interval.
5. Remove the early-return guard that skipped polling when
battery_capacity equalled battery_max. This prevented the second
corrective poll from firing when the first stale response happened
to equal 100.
