I think it's a bit cryptic - are you sure it's worth it just to save 8
one-off regmap_read()s? I could also just remove this check... I see it
mostly as a courtesy to the user in case the I2C address in his device
tree mistakenly points to some other unsuspecting chip.

BTW, do you have any feedback on the device tree bindings of this
series? Rob had some questions and I am not sure that my proposed
bindings are fully aligned with the typec subsystem expectations. Any
feedback would be welcome.

I will wait for more comments and send a v2 in ~a week.

Kind regards,
Alvin
