Yes. The gist of it is that I had misunderstood the messages. Mostly, I
did not understand how to implement separate Linux driver with the
desired devicetree structure (no subnode on the syscon for each
feature). I was missing knowledge about Linux infrastructure allowing
for that. MFD and auxdevs are two approaches, with auxdevs being
preferred.

The latest revision finally takes those comments into account.

Thanks Krzysztof,
