TPS6594 is a Power Management IC which provides regulators and others

TPS6594 is the super-set device while TPS6593 and LP8764X are derivatives.
As mentioned, the binding needs to be complete. It's missing GPIO at
least. RTC and watchdog may or may not need binding changes.
Thank you for your feedback.
About GPIO, do you speak about 'gpio-controller'
and/or '#gpio-cells' properties ?
Yes.
For RTC (and for watchdog, once the driver will be
implemented), our driver do not require any node
to work. What could make an explicit instantiation
necessary in DT ?
Properties from RTC schema, e.g. start-year, wakeup etc.
TPS6594 RTC driver is being reviewed (this is another patch
series, not merged yet). These properties are not used by our
driver, that's why we did not have to add some RTC node in
the DT (until now, using such properties in our driver was not
requested by RTC sub-system maintainers).
Bindings should be complete, regardless whether you now need this in
driver or not. Does your comment mean that you will never need these,
because hardware does not support them, and never going to add?
Otherwise I don't get why you refer to driver when we talk about bindings...
OK, I understand now (I misinterpreted "RTC and watchdog may or may not
need binding changes").
Best regards,
Krzysztof
