What is exactly the difference between bcm74165b0 and bcm74165? Your
driver does not use bcm74165, so I wonder what its purpose is.

Few days ago, for different patchset, I was asking "why", because the
motivation was not clear from the code. Here you said "we need to", but
I would argue: no you do not need to add bcm74165 if it means nothing,
thus this commit msg has similar problem. Does not answer why it is done
like this.

Best regards,
