I was thinking the same thing after I sent this. Right now, no this has
no effect. The expectation is that when ldo8-tracking support is posted,
it needs to have access to the pdata. I suppose it could make sense then
to either make this part of that series, or to flatten this directly
into it.

I think it can be fine to merge on its own, but it might make sense then
to include the ldo8 tracking support. Let me see how ready that is to be
posted, and if it is close, this can join it in a patchset.
