None of the above is related to the patch description. Also, we don't
remove copyrights from the driver.

This would break the driver, as the two macros above are used at
tc90522.c.

A change like that at the struct would break the driver.

There are several problems at the approach you're taking. It seems that
you're just doing a diff from the driver that it is committed from the
driver you have, without:
	- splitting one change par patch;
	- caring if a patch would break compilation.

Instead, if you need, for example, to add a new field at the config struct,
like "pwr", your patch would need to be touching both the header and the
tc90522 to use this new field.

For the same reasons, I can't apply the rest of your patch series, as it is
not splitting the changes as one patch per functional changes.

Mauro
