Re: [RFC PATCH v3 01/15] mfd: bd71828: Support ROHM BD71828 PMIC - core

["Vaittinen, Matti" <Matti.Vaittinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Lee,

Thanks for the review!

I was slightly worried I really managed to piss you off last time :)
Glad to see I didn't burn all the bridges (yet) ;)

Because of the regulator part. I've had no comments for it - but I
don't think it should be applied as is in this series. I was kind of
hoping someone more experienced could have pointed me that what I have
tried to achieve here is already handled as <something I am missing
now>.

I don't think we should add sysfs control IF for disabling regulators
(I will drop that completely from first non RFC patch - but I hoped I
might get some friendly pokes/pushes to right direction). Nor am I
happy on how the run-state transitions which impact many regulators are
now handled via single regulator reference - but I can't think of
better approach just now. I hoped I am just missing something which is
obvious to more experienced regulator guys.

If I won't get comments to regulators I'll just drop the sysfs
interfaces (and possibly whole run-level control) and send series
without the RFC then. But I am still cautiously hopeful that Mark has
just a extraordinarily busy moment and will give me some feedback
before I finish v4 :)

I'll check this - I need to staticize these anyways.

probe2? Sounds like I need to do my homework once again :) Thanks for
the pointer.

Rest of the comments were pretty obvious - thanks. I'll fix these for
v4.

Br,
