That's not really well supported but from a system integration point of view it's usually fine since the design tends to be such that the two are always enabled together so you can just give the enable to one of the regulators and ignore the fact that it's actually controlling both and software actually works fine even if it's not truly correct. _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
