There are bq27x00 patches waiting on mailing list...

v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/22/705
v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/28/929
v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/5/597

Your patch will conflict with this (v2) patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/28/923

Some of v1 patches are already merged into tree, some v2 are Acked by
me, but not merged yet... Probably Sebastian (maintainer) did not have
time to review all patches yet.
