No need to be sorry :) And, thanks for the review!

Yeah, that's what you say ... XD
It's Ok. Besides, I like your style of providing the better alternatives 
along with your comments. (ref the print comments which I agreed with 
and dropped from this reply).

Yep. A leftover from the version with the ERRB stuff. Thanks for 
pointing it out!

I am unsure of what kind of dependencies the real setups using these 
PMICs have at boot time. Hence the (?). I've written drivers for a few 
PMICs, and I've sometimes just done the usual:

module_i2c_driver();

This, however, tends to get converted to boilerplate + subsys_initcall() 
by customers who actually start using the drivers - so I believe there 
is a problem in getting the consumers powered if the PMIC(s) are 
initialized too late. Anyways, it's probably nicer to try making it so 
it works better on different setups out of the box :)

I'd appreciate if someone wanted to shed some more light on this though!

Yours,
