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
- looks suspicious to me:
  - linux/err.h, which means the error constants are indirectly
    imported. Removing it feels brittle.
  - 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.
