To hopefully make things going forward a little bit, I was wondering
over the week-end if we should not solve this particular issue by adding
an intermediate platform DT node:

instead of having:
---
	i2c-hid-dev at 2c {
		compatible = "hid-over-i2c";
		reg = <0x2c>;
		hid-descr-addr = <0x0020>;
		interrupt-parent = <&gpx3>;
		interrupts = <3 2>;
		vdd-supply = <sth>;
		init-delay-ms = <100>;
	};
---

we would have:
---
	platform-i2c-hid at 01 {
		compatible = "very-special-board-that-needs-firmware-quirks-and-delay-of-100ms";
		vdd-supply = <sth>;
		i2c-hid-dev at 2c {
			compatible = "hid-over-i2c";
			reg = <0x2c>;
			hid-descr-addr = <0x0020>;
			interrupt-parent = <&gpx3>;
			interrupts = <3 2>;
                };
	};
---

If I am not wrong, the platform device should be initialized before
i2c-hid get called, which allows to setup properly the vdd supply.
On resume/suspend, the tree should be respected and we should be able to
enable/disable power in the same fashion this patch provides.

We could then extend this platform device at will without tinkering in
i2c-hid and we could also handle the GPIOs, reset or whatever is
required in the future through compatibles.

Thoughts? yes? no? bullshit?

Cheers,
Benjamin
