Yes the PMIC is very configurable and it took a while till I understand
it.. @Adam please correct me if I'm wrong.
The PMIC regulators regardless of the type: ldo or buck can be
simplified drawn as:
da9062-gpio da9062-regulator

The 'vsel-in' and 'enable-in' regulator inputs must be routed to the
PMIC GPIOs which must be configured as input. If this is a pinmux in
your opinion, then yes we need to do that. IMHO it isn't a pinmux
because from the regulator point of view it is just a GPIO which comes
from our own gpio-dev (da9062-gpio). So the abstraction is vald. Anyway
I'm with you that this isn't the typical use-case.
Regards,
Marco
