    Pali,
    on a related note I recently started working on a new driver named
    bq242xx_charger.c that will add support for the following devices:

    bq24250
    bq24251
    bq24261M
    bq24262

    These are TI's key devices in the bq2425x and bq2426x sub-families. I was
    actually also thinking about some larger consolidation but was
    concerned about touching/breaking existing stuff and decided to do one
    step at a time. And yes while there is some system-level overlap between
    most bq24xxx I'm also worried that providing good coverage of all
    important device features for all different bq24xxx devices would yield
    a very large and hard to understand driver.

    As part of the bq242xx_charger.c development I'm keeping a close eye on
    the existing bq24xxx drivers. If there seems an elegant way to do some
    consolidation after all I might be able to broaden the scope of my work.

    This being said I welcome additional ideas/suggestions here but for this
    we should probably start a new thread.

    Regards,
