Well, that's strictly speaking a problem of the existing Linux driver
then, which cannot cope with this new updated binding yet. But the
binding needs to be updated first in any case, so this patch needs
to come first.

But yeah, indeed this is missing the extension of the "IRQ > 0"  check
from the 15060 MFD code, I will send a patch shortly to extend this to
the AXP305 and AXP313a.

Thanks for the heads up!

Cheers,
Andre
