This could be a key input device.

It seems like you're trying to assemble a huge framework while avoiding the already-present frameworks. No?

Yes, they are actually a various devices with separated options.
I looked into some Frescale and Maxim PMICs documentation. And those integrated devices usually provides various ops on one or two interfaces. So I think it would be nice to have one framework and e.g. register available devices options for each interface of each device.

You're right - we have some frameworks at present and this framework could be an additional abstraction level between device and uboot commands. Device could be presented as it was designed - is it bad idea?
