N900 Hardware Power management

The TWL4030 has USB PHY, power managment and audio codec.

The USB PHY appears not to be used - according to this email to the linux-usb list with it being handled by the N900_Hardware_isp1707

It seems to be documented - not under this part number - at TIs website

A quick check indicates the I2C bus addresses match - see 13.3 in above datasheet.

If this is the correct part, the following description applies:
