Right. Yeah. Now I read patches carefully and that is the case. His patch
set is designed to board-evm's. Which I suppose is TI's boards.

But, can't we extend the set to keep the code available for all of them?

I guess that would be just a matter of defining the twl regulators inside twl4030-pmic.c
and exporting them via that header, but supplies are left for board specific code?
