This patch adds device driver of max77843 charger. This driver provide
initialize each charging mode(e.g. fast charge, top-off mode and constant
charging mode so on.). Additionally, control charging paramters to use
i2c interface.

I can't take it as is, since it depends on the private header file
of PATCHv1.

Hi,

... and again we are adding a new driver for very similar chipset to
already supported. I looked at spec and the charger's registers are
almost the same as for max77693. Their layout and addresses are the
same. I see some minor differences, probably the most important would
be different values current (fast-charge, top-off). But still 90% of
registers are the same... Do we really have to add new driver?

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Hi,

Thank you for your comment. As you say, both chip set are similar.
But new driver need for support max77843. It is support different below
- Provide Battery presence information.
- Can OTG FET control.
- Bigger Fast charge current, Top Off current Threshold selection.
- Various and bigger OTG current limitation.
- Bigger primary charger termination voltage setting.
- Different maximum input current limit selection(Different step).

I respect your opinion but I think add new driver better.

Best regards,
Beomho Seo
