This does not explain at all why you wanted to remove any other
compatibles. There is no connection, relation between these.

We are making circles and discussion takes too much. I asked to bring
the arguments about hardware that point devices are not compatible. You
just said "PMIC is an PM8018", and that's it. Nothing more, nothing
about hardware. Based on that you want to remove compatibility. This is
not valid argument. It's unrelated.

You could as well say "The actual PMIC is Qualcomm PMIC" and you would
be right. Still not an argument.

Based on lack of arguments in this entire discussion, the patch itself
is not correct. Use the approach I wrote some time ago and quoted one
more time.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
