+Required properties:
+ - compatible: one of: ltc2974, ltc2977, ltc2978, ltc3880, ltc3883, ltm4676

Could we please format this like:

- compatible: should contain one of:
* "ltc2974"
* "ltc2977"
* "ltc2978"
* "ltc3880"
* "ltc3883"
* "ltm4676"

Given the file name, are these all variants of ltc2978?


All the chips supported by the ltc2978 driver. Some are variants
of the ltc2978, some have different functionality.

Ok.


[ should those be "linear,ltc2974" and so on ? ]

Good point; yes they should. That will need a vendor-prefixes.txt
addition.

Actually, turns out there already is one, only it is not immediately obvious:
lltc for "Linear Technology Corporation".
