Apologies for the duplicate. My earlier copy of this reply went out with a
misconfigured sender identity from a local mail setup issue. Resending it
cleanly.

I'm not sure if the chip is populated, but I tested whether it enumerates.
With smb2370_l enabled, the SID-11 SPMI device (2-0b on the SPMI-2 bus)
fails to probe:

spmi spmi-2: pmic_arb_check_chnl_status_v1: 0xb 0x104: transaction failed (0x3)
pmic-spmi 2-0b: probe with driver pmic-spmi failed with error -5

The SPMI PMIC arbiter can't complete a transaction to SID 0xb, so pmic-spmi
can't read it and the eusb2 repeater doesn't bind pmic@b (only pmic@9 and
pmic@a come up). I keep it disabled.

Defaulting that in smb2370.dtsi would touch the shared file instead of just
this board, so I've left the override here for now. The comment in v3 will
be updated to read:

/*
* smb2370.dtsi enables all three repeaters by default; SID-11
* (smb2370_l) does not enumerate on this board, so override it back
* to disabled.
*/

Thanks,
Jason
