Hi Stephan, 

Sorry for delayed answer.

I would really like that we can use "revid" registers, but I don't know...

I can successfully discover following USID's on APQ8074 boards:

pmic-spmi 0-00: qcom,pm8941-v1.0 detected
pmic-spmi 0-01: qcom,pm8941-v1.0 detected
pmic-spmi 0-04: qcom,pm8841-v0.0 detected
pmic-spmi 0-05: qcom,pm8841-v0.0 detected

Unfortunately on PM8916 only one device is detected, with USID 0.
But they should be two, judging by downstream DTS files, right?

pmic-spmi 0-00: qcom,pm8916-v0.0 detected 
pmic-spmi 0-01: unknown device

For communication with PM8916 I am using recent patches from Gilad [1].
Maybe there are still some issues with these patches, which can cause
this behavior or PM8916 just didn't have these registers for USID 1?

Regards,
Ivan
