I still fail to understand the rationale for renaming the file from ltc2978
to ltc2972. I can see that 2972 is currently the alphabetically first supported
chip, but that is, in my opinion, irrelevant, and it will change.

If/when support for LTC2971 is added to the file and to the driver, do you plan
to rename the file again ?

Thanks,
