Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 4/6] regulator: bd96801: ROHM BD96801 PMIC regulators

Hi dee Ho Krzysztof,

Heading to the Seattle? If so - Enjoy! It's a bummer I'm not able to 
share a beer with you in ELC this time.

I think yes. Thanks.

I think you're right.

Hmm. Yes, you're right. I'm not sure if I did think of this.

There is currently no need to share/allocate any private data from the 
MFD. We get the regmap using dev_get_regmap, and interrupts using the 
platform_get_irq_byname(). Nothing else is shared between the MFD and 
sub-devices.

Considering the use of platform_get_irq_byname() - and how failures to 
get 'errb' IRQs are silently ignored in bd96801_global_errb_irqs() and
in bd96801_rdev_errb_irqs() - this check is just a slight optimization 
to not even try registering the errb IRQs if they're not found from the 
device tree. So, I think things do not really go south even if we go to 
"errb route" when the "errb" IRQs aren't successfully registered.

Whether this warrants a comment, or if this check is just unnecessarily 
complex can be pondered. Personally I think the purpose is pretty clear 
and thus the complexity is not added that much - but yes, a comment 
above call(s) to the platform_get_irq_byname() saying errb IRQs are not 
guaranteed to be populated might be justified.

I guess I have something to learn here. Thanks. :)
