The DT could be similarly readable if we had a bunch of #defines for the
different VIN settings that resolved to the final register value for
that pmic. Something like PM8921_GPIO1_14_VPH, PM8921_GPIO19_36_VPH,
etc. There would be a lot of them, but then the driver could be really
simple and just jam whatever value is in the DT into the register
without having to bounce through a mapping table in software to figure
out the register value. If we did this for the functions also then I
believe we achieve readability without requiring a bunch of drivers for
each and every single pmic?

Why is 30uA special? Just because most drivers use it? I'd prefer we
always be explicit about which pull-up we want so that nothing is left
up to the driver implementation.

Also according to the hw folks the 1.5uA + 30uA boost has never been
used so I say let's drop that feature. If we need it one day we can
always add a qcom,pull-up-boost or something (I highly doubt we'll need
it). Doing that allows us to specify this in actual SI units. Maybe even
allowing us to have a generic pull-up-strength (or
bias-pull-up-strength) specified in SI units of mA?
