Re: [RFC PATCH v1 3/3] regulator: bd718x7: Support SNVS low power state

Hello peeps,

And my apologies! I was in a hurry yesterday. I had to pick up kid kid
from kindegarden and I wanted to send the RFC before that - bad mistake.
Should've learnd by now.

Today I decided to continue work and use combination of
regulator-always-on and regulator-boot-on instead of
rohm,regulator-crucial-for-boot. I was ashtonished by the fact that I
didn't find my latest work from my git. After a while I found unsaved
buffer from another editor instance with changes concerning handling of
"rohm,regulator-crucial-for-boot"...

So no wonder it was not clear that the core constrains were not enough.
Previous patch did not contain the part of change that skipped turning
the regulator control to SW if regulator was marked crucial.

Anyways, this is still valid - I'll prepare next version with all
intended changes included... :/
