It's the descriptive but wrong element I dislike (pmi8994_wled_ovp_cfg
is used by pmi8550).

I know these things crop up for "historical reasons" when is appears in
the same patchset I have to question the naming.

Peronally I'd prefer that to making them all use pmi8994 structures.
It's a much better link back to the docs (at least for those with the
