One major comment. As we see, on SMB2 PMICs parts of the Type-C
functionality are provided by the charger / FG device. I guess that on
SMB5 PMICs we will get the same problem once somebody tries to implement
additional charger features. Would it make sense to rework the PMIC TCPM
driver to be a composite driver, taking several components via the
existing Linux interface?
As this gets decided from the QCOM side, I'm fine with whatever suits the
hardware best.
Bryan, as you are a maintainer of the PMIC-TCPM? Would the use of
components be fine?

I mean maybe. Would it not make more sense to land the TCPM functionality and then look into adding charging moving then ?

i.e. finish off adding this piece first
