Headphone microphone breaks sometimes.
Charging
smb1358-charger driver is not available, so the charging is not controlled and there is no charging status reporting.
USB OTG
Another smb1358-charger driver issue. It's currently unable to power up a usb device in mainline.
Acelerometer
Could be mc3230, but the driver is not receiving interrupts at the moment.
It also needs to be implemented to have compatible entrys.
Ambient Light/Proximity Sensor
The driver for intersil,isl29044a ambient light/proximity sensor is not available.
FDE
It's not possible to unlock with touchscreen or a keyboard connected via USB OTG at the meantime.
