Hi,
finally we have reached kernel release 4.3 [1].

And I was able to fix the issues with the twl4030 charger just in time :)

So this kernel can now charge the battery over USB. The only thing you
must take care of is to enable ca. 600 mA for the USB port so that there
is some reserve when operating the GTA04.

This is done by

	echo 600000 >/sys/class/power_supply/twl4030_usb/max_current

BTW: this also works when booting the OpenPandora with this kernel.

Unfortunatley, there is currently no ID pin detection and therefore the
udev rules which enable 800 mA with the Openmoko charger are no
longer operational. But a fix for this will also come sometime.

So this kernel has now:
* modern omapdrm graphics driver (compatible with Jessie X11)
* new charger driver
* suspend is working (still with 50 mA instead of < 25 mA)

In the pipeline is an improved touch screen driver that better dejitters
the position.

We will try to get these patches upstream as soon as possible (with a
copy on this list so that you can follow the discussions).

If you have questions about this Kernel version (features etc.) or
the GTA04 simply ask us.

BR,
Nikolaus
