Hi Kiran,
This driver has a lot in common with the already upstream
pm8941-wled.c,
because it's just a new revision of the same block.
Please extend the existing driver rather than providing a new one
(and yes, renaming the file is okay).

Hi Bjorn,
Yes this driver design is similar to pm8941, however the WLED HW block
has undergone quite a few changes in
analog and digital from PM8941 to PM8998. Few of them include splitting
one module into wled-ctrl
and wled-sink peripherals, changes in the register offsets and the bit
interpretation. Hence we
concluded that it was better to have a new driver to support this new
gen WELD module and decouple
it from the pm8941. Also, going forward this driver will support AMOLED
AVDD rail (not supported by pm8941)
touching a few more registers/configuration and newer PMICs. So spinning
off a new driver would make it
cleaner and easier to extend further.
Thanks,
Kiran
