I think the C++ comments should only be applied to the SPDX identifier,
maybe the header, but not the entire file.

I am worried that when we need to add RPC HF support (which is what all
boards but the D3 Draak use), we will have to rewrite the entire driver
and/or convert it to MFD and that would be a tremendous undertaking. I'd
prefer to have the driver ready for the HF addition before it's accepted
upstream.
