For supply lines handled via the regulator API the API implements reference counting so that the devices don't need to worry about other users - it just drops the refs to the supply. For shared power gating blocks in CPUs (like SH, OMAP and S3C64xx have for example) the current idea is that the bus will do a similar thing. _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
