Depending on the device and the boot-up speed this seems to work only when
connected to a Linux PC though. AFAIK Windows PCs enforce the 100mA USB power
limit until the device is enumerated which can keep the device in an eternal
reboot loop not being able to ever get the charging going :)

See the comments I posted earlier today. Have you guys tried the $subject
patch with v3.18-rc series?

It sounds like these comments are based on just reading the patch. Or
else I'm missing something related to some other regression that's
probably unrelated to the $subject patch?

It seems we've been missing all kind of things. We probably should
first power off any the board specific GPIO regulators. Then configure
the power-up sequence for the board. And then finally call the
twl4030_power_off().
