Well the binding indicates that there is fault monitoring for this device.
If fault monitoring is for test only then it probably should not be
exposed in the binding
fault-monitor {
compatible = "ti,lm3697-fault-monitor";
};

I know. I want to see if there was any other opinion. Especially for the LED driver.

Not finding d774c7e447ac911e73a1b3c775e6d89f0422218c in the tree.
I am still not in favor of this ti-lmu driver in the MFD directory.
It really does not do much. It seems like a waste.
I will work on a new architecture and try to RFC next week.
