Please keep in mind that I have no docs for Whiskey Cove PMIC, so this patches
are based on some kind of reverse engineering and suppositions, correct me if
this semantic is wrong for common case.

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.

Erm, I just realized these are note platform-x86 driver patches at all.

Anyways same request to the extcon maintainers, please do not apply this
until I've had a chance to test this (which I'm doing right now).

Regards,

Hans
