It's a bit better, yes. Although it's still a little difficult to read. In fact, I can't even recommend a suitable alternative, since I still do not understand exactly what it is you're trying to say. > >+ > >+-maxim,enable-sleep: Boolean, enable sleep state of PMIC > >We already have bindings for sleeping.
