The LP873X chip is a power management IC for Portable Navigation Systems
     and Tablet Computing devices. It contains the following components:

      - Regulators.
      - Configurable General Purpose Output Signals(GPO).

PMIC interacts with the main processor through i2c. PMIC has
couple of LDOs(Linear Regulators), couple of BUCKs (Step-Down DC-DC
Converter Cores) and GPOs(General Purpose Output Signals). At this
time only the regulator functionality is made available.

Changes in v2:

   * Used mfd_add_devices instead of of_pltaform_populate.

Didn't see this conversation, but of_platform_populate () is usually
okay?

https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/6/244.

Did Mark tell you why you shouldn't be using it?

"You shouldn't be using that, you should just have a table of subdevices
in the MFD"

I inferred not to use of_platform_populate and make use of mfd_add_devices instead.

Please correct me if am wrong.

Are all of these used in >1 driver?

Apart from id and rev all are used.

Then why are id and rev in there?
