You dont seam to be using this header. Can you please clean up to have
only the headers you need?

Ok... How about after the first read?  is > 200000 a valid (supported) value range? 

Just trying to understand if the cap can be kept on all cases.

I would still prefer that this driver would not have these hardcoded
values. Specially considering the fact that we could map it in DT for
instance. What is the impact of using this? Does it work across all chip
distribution?

Should we wait until you have the code to read the fuses before merging
this?

You need to error handle this.
