Is this regulator really always on?
This feeds on to RTC which is a free running clock. So i guess always on is
justified no?
Well the dts entries should describe the hardware. If the
regulator can be enabled and disabled, we should not claim it's
always on.
From the PMIC perspective every regulator can be enabled and
disabled. From a Board perspective there are some which need
to be always on. For Ex: SMPS123 which feeds on to the MPU.
Right, and we already have regulator-boot-on for those. Or are
you seeing some issue with that?
regulator-boot-on describes that at boot a particular regulator is on.
It does not guarantee that it will be on for the rest of the time. The
regulator framework can go ahead and disable it if no one has requested
for it. In case of RTC we do not want that to happen.
That's a bug in the RTC driver then. The driver should request a
regulator if it's specified.
In my experiments I observed that when RTC regulator is switched off and switched on, there is an abort while
accessing RTC registers.
After discussing with hardware team, it is confirmed that this LDO9 regulator powering RTC cannot be turned off when
SoC is active and expected to be always on.
As confirmed by the PMIC hardware team this regulator should be an always-on
regulator.

Okay.
