Hi all,

what can I do for v2 now?

1. Keep this patch as-is, and keep pm7250b in device dts.

2. Drop pm7250b patch and drop from device dts, until _someone_ figures
out a solution talking to the PMIC on different SID.

3. Something else like copy-pasting pm7250b.dtsi to pm7250-8.dtsi and
changing the SID there, and using that in device dts.

Please let me know what to do.

Regards
Luca
