as I said, you know this better than me ;-)
I was thinking more of these io-voltages, where one can select between say 1.8
and 3.3V for the pins.
I have this somewhere on my todo list for the rockchips too.
So essentially the pinctrl driver [as it is a pin-group specific setting]
should just export regulators for these voltage settings, without touching the
pinconfig itself, right?
Thanks
