That advice may not be correct. Did Mallikarjun actually create *this*
patch? More likely, this patch was based on an equivalent change to some
other PMIC, and Bill just applied the same technique to this other
driver. If Mallikarjun really did write this patch, then the git author
field should also be set to Mallikarjun not Bill.
