Well, I recognise that statement.. ;-) and I understand that it's far
easier to handle it this way. But:
- Which .dtb are we going to write into the SPI flash? An older one,
which covers all kernels, but lacks features? Or a newer one, which
limits the bootable kernels to recent versions?
- Which DT are we going to give to EFI applications?
- Which DT are the BSDs suspected to take? They don't ship their own DTs
(which is good!).
So I understand that "shipping the DT with the kernel" is the old
(embedded!) way of doing things, but I really believe we should stop
relying on this and try to come up with backwards compatible DTs, which
live in the firmware and get updated there. Because this is what the
distros seem to expect from ARM64 boards these days.

So I compared the manuals of the AXP806 and the AXP805, the register
interface looks identical to me. I only have a (somewhat) Chinese
version of the AXP806 manual, so couldn't really find the difference
between the two. Do you know more about it? Is it just maybe the
packaging and the electrical properties (like max current supported)?
If the I2C register interface is really the same, we could just add the
DT nodes for the regulator and be done.

Andre.
