Ok, I've rebased my tree on top of 4.16-rc1 and prepared a v3. During the
rebase I noticed that a patch for the axp288-extcon driver which was supposed
to get dropped did end up in 4.16-rc1, so I will also (resend) a revert for that.

Also another extcon-axp288 driver patch seems to not have made it into 4.16-rc1,
so I will resend that too.

Hans
