Well, there it is the bq2429x driver. And the common part is that both
create charger nodes, registered by power_supply_register().

What is even more strange is that they show up in lsmod. But a
second modprobe -v reports that it tries another insmod:

root at letux:~# lsmod | fgrep bq24
bq2429x_charger        13916  1 
root at letux:~# modprobe -v bq2429x_charger
insmod /lib/modules/4.5.0-rc3-letux+/kernel/drivers/power/bq2429x_charger.ko 
^C
root at letux:~#
