Looking closer into the datasheets, I found that the PMBus commands are identical
to those of ADP1055, and an extension of the ADP1050 driver to support ADP1055
has been submitted.

With this in mind, please explain why this series warrants a new driver instead
of just extending the existing driver to support LTP8800.

Thanks,
