Not yet, you're right ...

I mainly focused on testing with rdacm21, what if I strip the rdacm20
changes out from this series ? I will have to keep the init()
operation introduction to maintain compatibility with max9286 changes,
and in case of no regressions, we can keep the 8 seconds delay in the
.dtsi. However it will break upstream support on Eagle for rdacm20 as
we don't have a regulator where to insert the startup delay there, and
a downstream patch that waits for 8 seconds in the deserializer driver
should be used instead...
