Hi, I am using a SGTL5000 rev 0x11 with external VDDD, as recommended by NXP documentation and errata sheet: http://cache.nxp.com/files/analog/doc/errata/SGTL5000ER.pdf The linux sgtl5000 codec driver contains a comment, warning that external VDDD can't be used on revisions >= 0x11, which is probably a leftover from the first implementation. This is very confusing because it contradicts the NXP documentation. Also, on every boot, the user gets a warning that the SGTL5000 is using the internal LDO (even though external VDDD is present). Maybe instead of checking the revision, we should only check if the VDDD-supply regulator exists and only if it does not exist, call sgtl5000_replace_vddd_with_ldo? I'd like to hear your comments if this approach is valid or if I missed something in my assumptions. In my DT, the VDDD-supply regulator is just a dummy / regulator-fixed with regulator-always-on; set, because the 1.8V external VDDD supply on my board is always powered on. I could not test if it works with regulator-fixed with gpio nodes, which actually switch the supply line on or off. If everything is OK, I'd send a formal patch to the mailing list. See below for the current state of my patch. Tested on an i.MX6Q board with SGTL5000 rev 0x11 and external VDDD.
