your wise comment is welcomed. You are right, when I check the rationals why I did it:
it was related to some bring up issues I needed to debug and I thought first that
it would make sense to keep them in order to avoid loosing it, but the downside/risk
it not a good way to maintain it.

I'll propose a v6 with a removal of a part and with a CONFIG_SENSORS_MPQ8646_DEBUG_UNSAFE
for a reduced subset of those.

Best regards,
  Vincent
