This Patch: This was my first patch to U-boot so I wonder if there is something to improve. Is this Ok like this or should I have formatted it somehow differently? Also, is this type of submissions welcome? Any place to check if submissions are rejected, being reviewed or forgotten? Next Steps: Finally, the BD71837 is mainly targeted for powering the i.MX8M. There's another ROHM PMIC BD71847 - which is mainly used for powering the i.MX8MM. The Linux driver I wrote does support both of these PMICs and I was thinking that maybe I should add support for BD71847 in this u-Boot driver too. But before investing on that work I would like to get some feedback regarding the BD71837 u-boot driver. At least a sign that this kind of submissions are welcome or information if I am doing something completely wrong =) About RFC tag: I used RFC tag here mainly because I am unsure if the driver design fits what the u-boot is heading on or if this is kind of driver u-Boot should include. Is this correct use of RFC, and what are the consequences of using RFC-tag? My assumption was that the patch with RFC is reviewed as ither patches, but it is also a sign that the patch might have something that makes it unsuitable for applying to u-Boot. Is this correct? Finally, I guess I need to (re)submit the driver(s) without the RFC tag at some point, any suggestions when?
