Whoops, I put that comment in the wrong place. Let me amend:

ab8500-i2c is used as core code to register the ab8500 device.
After allocating ab8500 memory, it immediately calls into
ab8500-core where the real initialisation takes place. This
patch moves all core registration and memory allocation into
the true ab8500-core file and removes ab8500-i2c completely.

These changes all look good, but I think I would go further here.
I believe we discussed this and I agreed that we could leave that
for later, but upon reading this code, I think now that it's getting
rather silly.

It's something I'm happy to do, but wasn't the point of the patch. I
don't know much about this code, as I didn't write it. I can spend more 
time on clean-ups such as these after my DT task has been completed.

If you apply this patch below, then there is no reason to add any of
those.

There is room for additional simplification even, but this is the most
important one. Note that the ab8500 mutex was only needed to support the
case where write_masked is not present, and that the debug output
on error is pointless because the prcmu driver already writes the same
output. The next step would be to remove all the {get,set}_register
functions
from ab8500 and just call the prcmu directly.

Patch looks good. I'll test it when I have my board. If it doesn't cause 
any issues I'll apply it to the patch-set ready for pull-request.

Kind regards,
Lee
