I am perfectly fine with reverting b0c1e95ab44f from for-current,
however I wonder if we could have an immutable branch off 4.11-rc2 (or
-rc1) containing fixed version of patch copying property + patch adding
resources + patch exporting i2c_client_type (I will CC you on that
shortly), which we could share between your tree and mine so I can get
in changes to a few drivers on my side (eeti_ts, atmel, etc).

If you are OK with this I can prepare said branch.

Thanks!
