This is what I can see if we can bridge this "a bit different". True, I am dumb to miss out some points, but I think with more inputs, more thinking, we can definitely make it generic! Thinking out loud ( excuse me if this is dumb), At the end of the day, how I see this benefiting a lay driver developer is : use the regulator API for the appropriate power sources - your SoC domain, your external regulator domain..etc..etc and ensure a very efficient (probably) run time PM for your device. All that the Platform guy will do is iterate a list of domains on the platform, provide hookups, ensure constraints etc and the job is done. Even if the same IP is used on a different SoC, you still ensure efficient savings in your driver itself. > As I said in reply to the patch I am concerned that this may be an > oversimplification relative to what general hardware needs. Ohh. for the patch set, as I said, its only a primitive implementation. With your inputs, we can definitely make it more efficient!
