FWIW if we'd do that it should be qcom,msm8974-pm8841-rpmpd (so pm8841 instead 
of pm8941)

But also in the same vain, it was maybe a bit of a bad decision originally to 
make the compatibles SoC-specific and not SoC+PMIC-specific - though in nearly 
all cases this combo is fixed for a given SoC?

Anyways, I'll wait for more comments about this, I'm open to changing it 
either way.
