The sound thing is a kernel issue I believe.  Up in stable-tracking
branch of kernel the upstream init of the codec chip is done differently
now and I think this is resolved.  But stable-tracking has some issues
being worked on that stop it replacing stable right now.

The empty battery thing on GTA02 A5 anyway is a hardware issue that is
happening before the CPU is booted, so Qi can't directly affect it.  It
can indirectly affect it though, when it does run it enables charging
immediately.
