Out of the curiosity (and in order to learn) - what is the exact idea of 
the 'regulator-boot-on' and when it should be used? I _think_ the 
'regulator-boot-on' is in many cases used to make the regulator 
framework to enable the regulator at start-up. What I _think_ the 
'regulator-boot-on' is intended for is to advertise the regulator 
boot-up state for regulators which do not provide a way to get the 
state. I am unsure if there is any property which is intended to be used 
for enabling the regulator at start-up. DISCLAIMER: Source of these 
thoughts is unknown. I may be wrong here. If someone knows this for sure 
I'd be grateful for any education :) If I am not mistaken the dvfs 
regulator does provide a way of reading the enable state after boot.

Finally, I have seen this quite many times before but I am unsure I 
understand it - why setting both the 'regulator-boot-on' and 
'regulator-always-on'? Wouldn't the 'regulator-always-on' suffice?

Anyways - as I mentioned, I am not 100% sure of pretty much anything :) 
Hence my questions are just questions - and the binding looks good to me.
