This pattern is weird. "ti" in front of the file name is redundant, and in
very few places the vendor prefix is used anyway. Especially when the chip
has a proper name --- as this one does.

I assume for the Intel PMICs it could be there for a couple of reasons which
are

1) lack of a clearly unique chip ID and

2) the use of common frameworklet for Intel PMICs.

There are also no other PMIC chips supported currently.

The pmic_tps68470 naming is in line with the GPIO driver (apart from the
dash / underscore difference).
