This causes Kconfig problems for me when doing "make allmodconfig":

  fs/sysfs/Kconfig:1: symbol SYSFS is selected by CHARGER_MAX14577
  drivers/power/Kconfig:327: symbol CHARGER_MAX14577 depends on POWER_SUPPLY
  drivers/power/Kconfig:1: symbol POWER_SUPPLY is selected by HID_SONY
  drivers/hid/Kconfig:649: symbol HID_SONY depends on NEW_LEDS
  drivers/leds/Kconfig:8: symbol NEW_LEDS is selected by SENSORS_APPLESMC
  drivers/hwmon/Kconfig:299: symbol SENSORS_APPLESMC depends on HWMON
  drivers/hwmon/Kconfig:5: symbol HWMON is selected by EEEPC_LAPTOP
  drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig:496: symbol EEEPC_LAPTOP depends on HOTPLUG_PCI
  drivers/pci/hotplug/Kconfig:5: symbol HOTPLUG_PCI depends on SYSFS

and the reason seems to be your changes to drivers/power/Kconfig for
the CHARGER_MAX14577 symbol.

So I pulled and then unpulled.  I realize you're not the only guilty
party in this chain, but your pull is the final drop, so.. I would
suggest making that MAX14577 charger interface _depend_ on SYSFS, not
try to select it.
