Hi,

Pavel, thanks for you review.

Done.

Well, this function name is derived from the sysfs attribute name and
since we already have "usb_curlim" sysfs attribute and corresponding
functions show_usblim() and set_usblim() it might be beneficial to
keep the driver code consistent. I now documented the attribute
behaviour in the code in the hope that users will look it up if in
doubt.

I added a comment explaining what this value is supposed to be set
to. The name is borrowed directly from the datasheet where it is
called "charger reference current". I hope this is ok.

Please find the new patch attached.

NB: Anton, if you apply this modified version, a new comment in
include/linux/mfd/pcf50633/core.h will produce a trivial merge
conflict with the later patch ("get rid of charging restart software
auto-triggering"). I can resend the whole series for your convenience
after everything else is sorted out if you prefer.
