The entire series would be better, I think.

Strictly speaking, it only requires the mentioned commit to compile
successfully, but if anyone would want to test this they'd need the full
series (or at least the battery/power subsystem commit) due to the
device instantiation.

Same reasoning applies to the HID series.
