Ok, I'll change for consistency.

Ok.

I noticed that the majority of the mfd PMIC drivers were bool and not tristate
so I thought it was a convention. But nothing prevents this driver to be built
as a module so I'll change it to tristate.

It seems so, I'll take that into account for v2.

Yeah, it is an error so I'll clean that message.

Ok, will do.

Yeah, I'll remove the type information here. It is a left over when trying to
combine both max77802 and max77686 drivers since in a combined driver we need
the type information.

Thanks a lot for your feedback.
