I agree. PMIC is the IC as a whole. This name was not the best one.

That would be more descriptive and I can change this. However, it means
I need to change the already applied regulator part too. Furthermore,
all other ROHM PMIC drivers I've written use the <part-name>-pmic for
regulators and so does a few other drivers at least for ICs from Maxim,
Samsung and TI. That's why I don't think the <partname>-pmic is that
confusing. If it was my decision, I would stick with the pmic for the
sake of the consistency.

I can change it.

Sure, no problem.
Thanks for the review!
