When I test the kernel build with these patch-set on next-20160316 tag,
the following errors happen. 

ERROR: "maxim_charger_calc_reg_current" [drivers/regulator/max14577.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "maxim_charger_currents" [drivers/regulator/max14577.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "maxim_charger_currents" [drivers/power/max14577_charger.ko] undefined!
