Can you add a little detail here about what benefit we will see from
this driver?  E.g., something that doesn't work correctly now, but
will work with this driver?

IIUC, "pci17cb,1101" and "pci17cb,1107" exist partly so we can check
that a DTS conforms to the schema, e.g., a "pci17cb,1101" node
contains all the required regulators.  For that use, we obviously need
a very specific "compatible" string.

Is there any opportunity to add a more generic "compatible" string in
addition to those so this list doesn't have to be updated for every
PMU?  The .data here is "wlan" in both cases, and for this purpose, we
don't care whether it's "pci17cb,1101" or "pci17cb,1107".
