Yeah, I was wondering about this as well. And it's two different PMICs here
as well: most A523/T527 system seem to come with an AXP717/AXP323 combo.
Though there are not linked together in any way, like in this master/slave
mode of the AXP806.
I will test on (your old) A80 board, and will add a Fixes: tag in v2,
should it also fail there.
