Hello Dan,

Thanks again for checking this :)

Oh... This is new to me. I guess there are reasons for this - but I
must say I am not excited as I have never used yaml for anything. I'll
do as you suggest and wait for what others have to say :) Thanks for
pointing this out though.

Let's see if this should be changed then :)

I think you are correct. I'll drop this oscillator for next patch.

I don't think the I2C node is needed in example. It is not part of the
PMIC - and I don't see the containing bus in other examples I just
opened. (the two other rohm,xxx PMIC docs - well, biased as I wrote
them), da9150.txt, lp3943.txt, max77686.txt, tps6507x.txt, tps65910.txt
...
