So this patch replaces the term "high precision" with "high repeatability",
"low power" with "low repeatability", and it removes the ability to select
high vs. low precision / repeatability from platform data.

I would accept a patch removing platform data entirely since there is
no in-tree driver supporting it. The ability to select precision
(or reliability) should still be supported, possibly with a non-standard
sysfs attribute. You might consider sending a series of patches.

1) Remove platform data support
2) (optional) Convert driver to with_info API
3) Replace "precision" with "repeatability" to match datasheet
    terminology
4) Implement a non-standard sysfs attribute such as "repeatability"
    to support selecting high/medium/low repeatability.
5) (optional) Implement devicetree support.
