For me (disregards to content of the patch) the question is: did we
ever have a *working* solution looking to the bug fixes on this
driver?!

I would suggest to stop applying patches on Intel PMICs without
Tested-by tag from independent testers.

Hans, do you have anything to add / comment on this?
