OK, so this is that represnetation of the connection - which raises the question about why the regulator needs a property? > +description: | > + This describes an external output supplied by a regulator, such as > + a power outlet on a power distribution unit (PDU). > + > +properties: > + compatible: > + const: reg-external-output > + > + vout-supply: > + description: > + Phandle of the regulator supplying the output, which should have > + the regulator-external-output property. > + > +required: I think at a minimum anything like this would need some sort of representation of how the output physically appears so that people can work out how outputs are mapped to the hardware they see. However we already have a subsystem for external connectors - extcon. Perhaps this should be a regulator client in the extcon API? It's common for connectors to include some sort of power provision so it seems like this would fit right in.
