So there is nothing in the data sheet of the RTL8211E to suggest you can uses these different power supplies independently. The naming 'phy-io-supply' is very specific to RTL8211E, but you are defining a generic binding here. I don't know the regulator binding, it is possible to make phy-supply a list? Andrew
