To repeat: the supply name is for the consumer. It is needed so that the consumer can tell which supply is provided by which regulator. Almost all devices have more than one supply and if the device does anything more complicated than just turning on all the supplies when the device is active it's going to need to figure out which supply is which. Also, please do remember to keep linux-kernel in the loop on all regulator API discussion - you should always keep the relevant mailing lists in the loop for any subsystem you're changing. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
