Yes, in this case, there is only one PMIC. So making a new file does not 
make sense except the PMIC is totally a new design.

I got your point, I did some more research, it's a variant of pm8150. In 
this case, I will upload a new version that makes DT to be changed after 
it includes pm8150.dtsi.
