The RPM firmware on Qualcomm platforms does not provide a way to check
if a regulator is on during boot using the SMD interface. If the
regulators are already on during boot and Linux does not make use of
them they will currently stay enabled forever. The regulator core does
not know these regulators are on and cannot clean them up together with
the other unused regulators.

Fix this by setting the initial enable state to -EINVAL similar to
qcom-rpmh-regulator.c. The regulator core will then also explicitly
disable all unused regulators with unknown status.

NOTE: This has a slight potential of breaking boards that rely on having
unused regulators permanently enabled (without regulator-always-on).
However, this is always a mistake in the device tree so it's probably
better to risk some breakage now, add the missing regulators and avoid
this problem for all future boards.

At a quick glance, are there any states for this value, other
than 0 and 1? This is not the regulator_ops->is_enabled, but
qcom_rpm_reg->is_enabled.


Yes, I initially assign vreg->is_enabled = -EINVAL (for use with PATCH
1/2). It's in the part of the patch that you trimmed in your reply. :D

Thanks,

Oh, right ^^
