If patching regulator driver with a new property is really difficult, we could migrate the existing users in a 'soft' way: - Add required regulator-always-on for regulator nodes in DTS. - Patch i.MX platform code to check the presence of regulator-always-on property for critical regulators, and give a big warning if it's missing. - Wait for a couple of release cycles for users to migrate. - Add regulator driver patch back and break users who keep ignoring the warning.
