Goal of the msm8916-pm8916.dtsi is to reduce the boilerplate necessary to create a device tree for a typical board with the MSM8916 SoC combined with the PM8916 PMIC. > 99% of all MSM8916 boards use the same standard setup where many of the PM8916 regulators have a fixed purpose and only some are left up for board-specific use. While MSM8916 (and perhaps MSM8939 soon) is currently the only platform with such an include, it has definitely proven useful. With more than 30 boards using it (not all of them upstream yet) it simplifies the review a lot and reduces the chance of configuring the standard components incorrectly. In preparation of extending its scope slightly, add a comment at the top that clearly explains what the .dtsi represents and when it should (or should not) be used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
