Do you mean that change the property name from "regulator-suspend-microvolt" to
"regulator-suspend-target-microvolt"?

"regulator-suspend-microvolt" is the one that some SoC is using. My
intention was just to keep that configuration still working.

IIUC, you mean just removing "regulator-suspend-microvolt", and use
"regulator-suspend-min-microvolt" as the default value for suspend
voltage?
I think that can work, but would it be better to not remove that right
now, since some one is using that?

Thanks for your review!
