I've just taken a good look at this (I'm planning on doing an axp152 driver
myself), and it seems that using a single mfd driver for the 20x and 221 should
be quite feasible:

- axp20x.h would get some new register defines for registers which are
  different (or unique) to the 221 prefixed with aXP221
- An axp20x_writeable_ranges would need
  to be extended with a third range going from AXP221_BAT_CAP1 (0xe0)
  to AXP221_BAT_LOW_THRESH (0xe6)
- axp20x_writeable_table would get .n_yes_ranges set to 2, and a new
  apx22x_writeable_table would be introduced with n_yes_ranges set to 3.
- add a new axp221_supplies array
- add a new axp221_cells array
- and finally use the proper structs in axp20x_i2c_probe depending on the type

Note that this means sharing ie the interrupt table, which is ok since they
are the same, except that the 221 has a couple of interrupts missing, but
the ones which are shared are all at the same place.

Regards,

Hans
