Hello, Lubomir! You're right about the I2C because it could be compiled
as a loadable module, good catch! The OF seems should fine as-is.

I don't mind to rename the variable, but not sure whether it will be a
worthwhile change since _scratch is also a common naming scheme among
MFD drivers. Please see max77620_scratch for example, which I added
about a year ago.

Yes, perhaps you're right. Right now I can't recall what stopped me from
using regmap. I'll give it a shot for v2, thank you for the suggestion!

Then the Tegra's default CPU soft-reset handler will be used for
rebooting [1].

Okay! I'll change this in v2, thanks.

This should be a good idea, especially combined with the regmap, thanks!
