+Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: apple_tristar_charger: Release the USB hold
+ for every attachment
+
+USB data stays off from attach until the source is identified, at most
+TRISTAR_HOLD_MS; only the first attachment since probe got that bound.
+The PMIC can stay in a transitional state (e.g. 0x62) for any later
+attachment too, and then USB data stayed off for good: no USB serial
+and no USB network until a reboot. Release the hold for every
+attachment, at the fallback limit, and start the hold when input
+returns after an unplug, not when it went away, so a cable reinserted
+after a long unplug is still identified first.
+
+The charger's queue asked for neither WQ_PERCPU nor WQ_UNBOUND, so every
+boot warned in alloc_workqueue(). The poll sleeps on I2C and the HDQ
+gauge and keeps no per-CPU state: make the queue unbound.
+
+[Orchard: from orchard PR #127 (commits 339bd296; patches 0031-0033
+ there), folded into one patch that extends the existing hold instead
+ of adding a second timer]
