I guess I should wire it up again. My shiny new Gru somehow did take up its space recently. > There's no way to split these up without either breaking compilation or > breaking bisectability.

That somehow sounds unrelated, as this patch only touches gru stuff anyway. So if the evb breaks, it would do so after patch5 already. > Maybe at a minimum, I should just patch in some empty regulator nodes, > so cpufreq doesn't think there's no need to handle voltage. So I guess going forward we could do, describe the evb pwm regulators (in disabled state), add general OPPs, add gru with pwm regulators? I'll try to hook up my evb and check on the pwm-regulators in the schematics this week.
