BQ25601D: Replacing BQ24297 with BQ25601D

Part Number: BQ25601D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24297,

Hi!

I am planning to replace BQ24297 with BQ25601D in current design. It seems HW plug and play instead of pins 10 (ILIM) and 8 (OTG). BQ25601D datasheet says leave these pins floating.

In current design of BQ24297, pin 8(OTG) is grounded. Will this be a issue? 

Pin 10 (ILIM) and resistor can be easily not assembled.

There are SW changes of course but in HW point of view, can we use existing PCB?
