The same PMIC may be attached multiple ways, and multiple different PMIC types may be attached. So for example on the Baytrail/T platforms (ASUS T100 etc) you have crystal cove via i2c, but a vendor could use a different PMIC - and there will of course always be new PMIC devices coming along. Equally on a Z2760 or similar (eg the Lenovo tablet 2) you may well have the same PMIC attached to the system control unit. While there's nobody afaik trying to sync the Android trees for Clovertrail+ with upstream at this point I know there are external to Intel folks working on it for fun and we need to allow for that.
