Thank you for these patches, besides your Lenovo Yoga Book I'm aware of
only 2 other device models using the CHT Whiskey Cove PMIC, the GPD win
and GPD pocket devices. These both work fine without the changes your
patches introduce.

I need to check if your changes do not cause regressions on these 2
devices, which are used with Linux by quite a few people. I will try
to make some time for testing this sometime next week.

A kind request to the platform-x86 driver maintainers (hi Andy): Please
do not apply these patches until I've been able to test they don't cause
issues elsewhere.

Regards,

Hans
