From: Amit Sunil Dhamne <amitsd@google.com>
Low power mode is enabled when reading CC resistance as part of
`max_contaminant_read_resistance_kohm()` and left in that state.
However, it's supposed to work with 1uA current source. To read CC
comparator values current source is changed to 80uA. This causes a storm
of CC interrupts as it (falsely) detects a potential contaminant. To
prevent this, disable low power mode current sourcing before reading
comparator values.
