I'm not sure we want to split up the files like this for an 'if we
decide to produce an SPI variant in the future'. If you do, then you
can split the files up. Until then, stick everything in -core.

It isn't any less readable with the '\n' removed.

So long as these appear soon. Otherwise it's just cruft.

You only need to request each IRQ once. It's just more abstraction
for the sake of it. I would prefer if you removed them.

Can you handle this separately in the Charger driver then please?

You're not changing anything, as this is the introduction of the code.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard "I will change it later",
or "doing it this way will support subsequent submissions", then
received no more patches. It's okay to do it nicely now and expand
it back out in the new patches.

It's more succinct and almost always done this way because of it.

More "I will"s. :)
Please do what's right for 'this submission'. If things change later
you can act accordingly.
