The latter was removed from the code in this series, only palmas-pmic is
present now.

Just as a general thing there seems to be an awful lot of stuff here
about the boilerplate for the generic properties like the interrupt
and GPIO controller stuff - we probably need to spin round and look at
factoring this out to make life easier. There seems to be a lot of
boiler plate in the bindings that is factored out well by the frameworks
in the code so people don't even need to think about it.
