I don't immediately see where this include is needed. Is this a

Same here.
Are there ways to systematically tell which includes are useless
besides commenting them out all and uncommenting until it compiles ?
(if that is even a good idea)
I tried this, just to get a baseline: the module compiles with just
linux/hwmon.h
linux/mfd/da9063/core.h
linux/module.h
linux/platform_device.h
linux/regmap.h
Beyond what you suggested this also gets rid of:
- seems reasonable:
- linux/delay.h
- linux/init.h
- linux/slab.h
... except that slab.h was probably originally included for kzalloc().
The driver now uses devm_kzalloc() which is defined in linux/device.h,
so you'll need to include that instead.
- looks suspicious to me:
- linux/err.h, which means the error constants are indirectly
imported. Removing it feels brittle.
It also defines PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(), so it is definitely needed.

- linux/kernel.h, although to my surprise a lot of c files do not
include it.
By default I'll drop the former and keep the latter in the
next version, please let me know if another combination is preferred.
