Still, it looks like you just took Bruno's driver, stripped out the
axp20x parts and added the one to deal with axp22x.

This makes the driver look weird, by being called axp20x, without
actually supporting those PMICs, but having some axp22x variables
right in the middle. And that's awfully inconsistent.

I'd rather have you add the AXP20x driver directly, and then add the
needed stuff for the AXP22x.
