I'm wondering why it's tied to the w2sg0004

So its
- a regulator (optional)
- an irq (optional)
- a gpio  (could be optional)
- an optional rfkill
- a pulse time (10ms fixed)
- a backoff time (1 second fixed)


It looks identical to half a dozen other widgets that are found in
Android phones. Would it perhaps be better to make the tiny tweaks to
make it generic

- make the timers configurable
- make the pulse time or high/low selectable for on/off
- make the gpio optional

and just have one driver with the right DT for all similar devices?

Am I missing some w2sg004 specific bits here ?


I think the general model is right, and there will be other slaves that
don't fit the pattern but I do think this one could be generalised.
