Thanks for trying. Other than the mystery battery issue, the others
should pretty much go away with just .config changes it seems.

Hmm, I thought Nishant fixed that already with commit 61a7784efd3
"power: twl4030_charger: detect battery presence prior to enabling
charger".

I'm not seeing these errors with twl4030_charger built in. For me it just
bails out without a battery like it should:

twl4030_bci 48070000.i2c:twl at 48:bci: Battery was not detected:-19

Nishant, any ideas on this one?

This is a known issue with data for multiple devices squashed
into one in the .dts files.

Peter, any news on fixing up this issue? I think you promised to
look at it already a while back :)

Not seeing this one, is this maybe from the legacy mode boot?

Not seeing these either. Is this maybe from your 4430sdp instead?

This I'm seeing too, will take a look at this one.

I'll take a look at this one as we now have a binding for
twl4030_keypad. Probably just missing the keymap in the .dts
file. The gpio keys should work though.

Not seeing this with my LDP. I think you're probably missing:
CONFIG_REGULATOR_TWL4030
CONFIG_REGULATOR_PBIAS

I'm not seeing this one either on my LDP. I'm getting just one warning
"multiblock reads disabled due to 35xx erratum 2.1.1.128"
but the card works just fine here with no errors. I'd assume these go
away with enabling the regulators above.

The LDP is certainly usable here with device tree based booting.

It seems you're probably missing some .config options. Care to post
your .config somewhere? Or maybe give it a try with omap2plus_defconfig?

If that works, then maybe enable CONFIG_CHARGER_TWL4030=y in
omap2plus_defconfig and see if you get the battery issue with it too?

Tony
