I accepted quickly earlier, without giving second thought.

We need pdata, as it is being used in multiple places inside driver.
And I do not want to break that. So allocation of pdata is indeed
needed here.

And also, in order to put your suggested line of code is concerned, I
have to rearrange the code, as access to "chip" is only available after
pm80x_init()

And I feel that would look ugly.

So I will stick to my original code as far as this comment is concerned.


Note that, your comment on CLR_ON_WRITE and CLR_ON_READ already taken
care of.

Thanks,
Vaibhav
