The intention behind “significant functional overlap” was meant to
indicate a lot of the features between TPS6594 and TPS65224 overlap,
while there are some features specific to TPS65224.
There is compatibility between the PMIC register maps, I2C, PFSM,
and other drivers even though there are some core registers at
different addresses.

Would it be more appropriate to say the 2 devices are compatible and have
sufficient feature overlap rather than significant functional overlap?

Thank you for your review and feedback!

Bhargav
