Greetings Krzysztof,

Thanks for the feedback. Just to confirm: Is this comment referring to the
content of the patch description? For the third version I want to make sure
I address your concern.

In the third version I will be modifying the description once more as I will
no longer retrieve data from the GPIO driver. Here is the new attempt:

dt-bindings: hwmon: hpe,gxp-fan-ctrl: remove fn2 and pl register references

Reduce the hpe,gxp-fan-ctrl register references from 3 to 1. The function2
(fn2) and programmable logic (pl) references are removed. The purpose
of removal being their functionality will be consumed by a new GPIO
driver.

Thank you for the assistance,

-Nick Hawkins
