You're totally right, we could rewrite the driver to use regmap_field and make
the rest of the differences conditional. In my eyes we end up with two drivers
in one file - but it can be done.

A difference however is that in pm8941 the ps hold behavious (reboot vs power
off) is controlled by this same block. So I have an additional patch that adds
a restart handler here that sets the pmic in the right state before we pull
pshold (but I haven't been able to test it properly).

In pm8xxx this is handled in the pmic misc block and does not belong in this
driver.

I don't like having conditional documentation - it's not only that the second
interrupt is missing, the first one have different meaning. But you're right
that it's a minor thing and can be done.
