Right, I've had PM8010 in mind all along, but it's hard to tell whether it will be using the same (sub)driver until code is submitted since you guys (Qualcomm) don't publish any documentation. I've changed the regulator (and GPIO) drivers to use platform device id matching for now either way. Johan
