Hey Courtney-

Thanks for picking this up!

One thing that I had meant to do is rename this thing.  Nothing about
this is PM8841/PM8941 specific at all.  It should apply equally to all
Qualcomm's PMICs which implement QPNP.

Perhaps a better name would be "qcom-pmic-qpnp".

This reminds me.  David Collins (CC'd) noticed that there are usecases
where peripheral drivers will need to be accessing registers from atomic
context, so we should probably be setting .fast_io in the SPMI
regmap_bus structures, but we can tackle that when we get there.

I'm thinking we should probably have a generic compatible entry as well,
"qcom,pmic-qpnp" or similar.  We should still specify in the binding
that PMIC slaves specify a version-specific string as well as the
generic string.  That is, a slave should have:

	compatible = "qcom,pm8841", "qcom,pmic-qpnp";

...in case we would ever need to differentiate in the future.

(I recall that in a previous version I had done this, but I don't
remember why I had changed it..)

Thanks again,
  Josh
