Hi Andy,

Thank you for your feedback.

So now that I also have a yogabook to test on it has become clear that
we really need to treat each device-model/board with a cht-wc PMIC
differently in the various cht-wc MFD cell drivers.

So instead of using device-properties (patch 1 + 2 from this series)
I've chosen to add a intel_cht_wc_get_model( helper to:
drivers/mfd/intel_soc_pmic_chtwc.c

Which uses DMI matching (in a shared place so that we need the DMI
table only once) and returns an enum value which represents all
known boards.

Regards,

Hans
