Use Linux coding style, so:
1. missing wrapping after/before each {}
2. missing descriptive name for the type (mpq8785_chips)
3. CAPITALICS see Linux coding style - there is a chapter exactly about
this.



Sorry, I was thinking that it is a local pmbus tradition.
Many drivers have the same enum without capitalics :


hwmon, really, not just pmbus.

grep -r "enum chips {" .
./isl68137.c:enum chips {
./bel-pfe.c:enum chips {pfe1100, pfe3000};
./mp2975.c:enum chips {
./ucd9200.c:enum chips { ucd9200, ucd9220, ucd9222, ucd9224, ucd9240,

./fsp-3y.c:enum chips {
./lm25066.c:enum chips { lm25056, lm25066, lm5064, lm5066, lm5066i };

If that's standard for this subsystem, then it's fine, although to me it
feels odd to see all over the code lower case constant.


hwmon traditionally (as in: from the very beginning) uses lowercase enums
for chip types. It would be even more odd to change that now.

Thanks,
