I tried this, just to get a baseline: the module compiles with just
linux/hwmon.h
linux/mfd/da9063/core.h
linux/module.h
linux/platform_device.h
linux/regmap.h

Beyond what you suggested this also gets rid of:
- seems reasonable:
- linux/delay.h
- linux/init.h
- linux/slab.h
- looks suspicious to me:
- linux/err.h, which means the error constants are indirectly
imported. Removing it feels brittle.
- linux/kernel.h, although to my surprise a lot of c files do not
include it.

By default I'll drop the former and keep the latter in the
next version, please let me know if another combination is preferred.
