Right, and surely that can be caught as well. This was a global
approach. You could add a bitmap for example to encode whether ldo and
adc are available. It takes two bytes, and two or operations.

You find more complex to add a 10 lines function than 450 lines of
code that you ripped off from another driver, that generates 4
structures many structures (groups, functions, pins and pins'
functions) and will provide three different lookup methods? Really? :)
It's way overkill for that driver. Most of these lists can be
hardcoded as well.

Again, let's worry about those PMICs when we'll need to support
them. Unless you already have an example in mind of course. Otherwise,
it's just building things on theories that have never been proven (and
might never be).
