However as Mark Brown points out this was added to just satisfy some exiting consumers that rely on regulators. I had or still argue that we need a way to check if this is not getting misused with devices like CPUs. I was thinking of some check with DT where such properties are not allowed in certain device type. > > My understanding is that this is aimed at systems which have done the > more abstract thing where regulators just aren't visible at all to the > kernel but then find that they actually need to control some of the > regulators explicitly for things like MMC so need a mechanism for the > firmware to expose select regulators. Thanks Mark for the explaining this, saved me time 😄. -- Regards, Sudeep
