Gets rid of the errors for me if CONFIG_CHARGER_TWL4030=y. Looks like we don't have that enabled by default in omap2plus_defconfig which explain why it's taken so long to notice this one: Tested-by: Tony Lindgren <t...@atomide.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
