I am not objecting about scaling the voltage through a regulator, that's fine to me. However, encoding a power domain as a regulator (even if it may seem like a regulator) isn't. Well, unless Mark Brown has changed his mind about this. In this case, it seems like the regulator supply belongs in the description of the power domain provider. > > In case of Qcom earlier (when we added the performance-state stuff), > the eventual hardware was out of kernel's control and we didn't wanted > (allowed) to model it as a virtual regulator just to pass the votes to > the RPM.

I guess I haven't paid enough attention how power domain regulators are being described then. I was under the impression that the CPUfreq case was a bit specific - and we had legacy bindings to stick with. Can you point me to some other existing examples of where power domain regulators are specified as a regulator in each device's node?
