I'm not seeing the DT patches. FYI the old DT does not work with the
new kernel driver updates. Because of the new AXP223 specific compatible
for the usb-power-supply, the updated mfd driver cannot match the old
device node, and the probe will fail at

        if (!of_device_is_available(pdev->dev.of_node))
                return -ENODEV;

I don't see an easy way out of this though. The mfd_cell structure only
takes one compatible string.
