I'm wondering what will you do when something similar will be needed
for another PMIC?
I see possible solutions to eliminate additional churn:
- make just one enum for all models (can be done now, can be renamed later)
- make a union if we have such situation
because I wouldn't like to have another field for each possible
variant of PMIC in the generic structure.
Hence the question, does it make sense to just name it (enum and
member) less cht_wc oriented?
