I have not provided a detailed description here because as I have noted
in the cover letter, this patch will be squashed into the MFD series. I
sent it only as a bridge between the two series, sorry for the
confusion.

Right, this is probably not necessary now since I'm only implementing
support for one of the chips - it's just that I keep thinking about it
as a driver for both of them and thus tend to write it a bit more
abstractly. Shall I then drop this and also the `presets` member which
is also chip-specific?
