If a respin is needed, please fix it. Also the patches still use
"supplies" instead of "supply" in the patch subject. I would have
fixed this while applying, but this (PATCH 1/10) actually looks
fishy to me:

Previously bq27500 and bq27510/bq27520 had different type ids,
while after the patch both use the same. The patch description
does not mention why this is ok and it actually looks incorrect.
I guess we need to introduce BQ2750X and BQ2751X for backwards
compatibility instead?
