Generally if you find yourself listing things the patch does in the
commit message it's an indicator you should split the patch up.

It looks like there's a lot of stuff to be fixed, but it doesn't need
to all be fixed in the one commit (as 01/21 suggests I guess). The
devicetree is already inaccurate, it's okay if a subset of the
inaccuracies survive for another patch or so.

Otherwise, if they must be changed together, it would be good to have a
description of *why*. Broadly, the commit message should explain *why*
the change is need regardless, not discuss *what* the patch changes
(that's evident from the patch itself).

Aside from splitting the patch on adding more devices and removing the
redundant idle-state settings, things like this should probably be
separate too.

Why was the address changed? Was it always wrong? Or has there been a
new revision of the board? A separate commit with some explanation here
would be useful.

This isn't discussed anywhere. There should probably be a separate
change for anything adc128d818-related that explains what's going on
here.

This also isn't discussed anywhere. There should probably be a separate
change for anything max31790-related that explains what's going on
here.

Also not discussed. Separate change for anything tca6424-related that
explains what's going on here.

Should go in the max31790-related patch.
