The ICS tree contains tweaks for this purpose, allowing the mapping to
be modified during init time by board files. This should only be the
default setup, and once support for boards that do not use default setup
is added, we should modify this.

However, if someone can provide me specs how the multi PMIC support
should actually work, I am willing to implement this.
