If you want to update the defconfig do it in a separate patch.

Ok, I'll split the patch.

Right. I'll fix it in v2.

I'm not entirely clear what this is supposed to do but it's broken - it
both ignores the voltage that is passed in and immediately writes to the
normal voltage select register which will presumably distrupt the system.

Please make some helpers for this (or extend the existing ones to cope
with more than a single bit control) - there's several other devices
which have similar multi-bit controls so we should factor this out
rather than open coding.

No prob, I'll submit a patch for the helpers before submitting the v2
of this patchset

The driver should be able to start up with no configuration provided at
all except for the device being registered - the user won't be able to
change anything but they will be able to read the current state of the
hardware which can be useful for diagnostics.

seems reasonable

What is a workmode?

It defines if the output from DCDC2 or DCDC3 (that can be used as PWM chargers).
I'll document it better in the bindings documentation.

Use devm_regulator_register() and then you don't need to clean up the
regulators either.

module_platform_driver().

I'll fix both in v2.
