Right, and I understand what you are asking, is just that I completely disagree with you. But moving on. Would you accept if I wrote a separate driver specific to pms405 or do you want me to integrate in qcom-spmi_regulator.c? I am asking because none of the ops will use the common functions (I wont be reusing much code from this qcom-spmi_regulator.c file) > > There's already some conditional code in the probe function for handling > different operations for the over current protection and SAW stuff, this > looks like it should fit in reasonably well.
