Oh, interesting repository :) Thanks for linking to it! I didn't know
someone had reworked this driver...

I have access to the data-sheets so I also have some pieces of
information. I hope I can clarify part of the puzzle. Unfortunately I
have no information about the magic delays. I guess I could try asking
though.

Oh, it seems to me this handler is only working on BD71828, not on
BD71815. So, it should be tied to the ROHM_CHIP_TYPE_BD71828.

I'm not sure why to store pointer to the device and not a pointer to the
regmap?

0x03 is a "reset reason" - register. Spec I have states that the
register should clear when a reset occurs - but it also says the bits
are "write '1' to clear". So, for some reason(?), this clears the
previous reset reason. I am unsure why i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() and
not regmap()?

This clears the DCIN monitoring status bit from the IRQ status register.
I don't understand the purpose though.

This write to PS_CTRL_1 initiates a state transition. 0x2 equals to HBNT
state. Eg, in usual cases this should be a start of the power-off sequence.

If you have the hardware to test this on, then it'd be great to see if
clearing the reset reason and IRQ status could be dropped. I can't
immediately think of a reason for those.

This does not smell correct to me. Should we remove the
bd71828_power_off() from the pm_power_off instead?

Thanks for doing the digging Andreas! I think supporting the power-off
for devices using this PMIC is nice!
