That is also fine to me but still I am not comfortable with the config name and driver file name as this does not suggest the common.The name does not matter. Really. We have a lot of drivers with a specific device-like name and supporting different devices. To point that your argument is invalid - your initial name of driver "rtc-max77620.c" supported totally different "names": the max77620 and max20024. It also wasn't suggesting something "common"...
In all config string, I have mentioned the MAX20024.
With my approach we are not developing common think neither. We just want to extend/re-use existing max77686 (or max77802) driver for new devices. Just like everywhere else.
OK, fine to me if this is acceptable. I will drop this rtc patch form this series and work in max77686 driver to modify first and once merged, use this config on my defconfig.
