Hi Kumar,

I do see rpm as somewhat equivalent to a pmic and that was why I
followed suite and put it in mfd, but I can of course move it if you
prefer.


Lately I've been working on rpm, rpm-smd, smem, smd, smsm, smp2p
patches for mainline.
It could be argued that smd is a bus and should go in drivers/bus, but
for the rest I fear that we just created drivers/soc/qcom as another
dumping ground for things; a "Qualcomm specific drivers/mfd".

But maybe that is the purpose of it ;)


If I move the rpm driver, are there any conclusion to where I should
move the dt binding documentation?

Regards,
Bjorn
