In my reply to Rob's comments in v1 I was pointing out that this will 
affect an existing driver. There was no reaction.

As far as I can see, there is no in-tree usage yet. Though I can't tell 
about out-of-tree usage. Although if there is, adding the rt5033-charger 
driver might already causes the need for changes.

Well, to stay on the safe side, I'll drop this patch in v3 and will 
change the bindings (patch 9) back to uppercase.

Kind regards,
Jakob
