Hello Mark,

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Ok, I'll do that. After all mfd core just omits the devices that don't match.

Ok.

Yes, I missed this from your previous feedback, sorry about that.

I'll add a regmap_copy_reg() function to drivers/base/regmap/regmap.c instead.

Ok.

I just looked at regulator_register() and saw that it does rdev->dev.parent =
dev, so yes this has to be the MFD.

The original Chrome OS driver [0] had a "regulator-op-mode" property similar to
"op_mode" in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/s5m8767-regulator.txt
to specify the operating mode using DT.

But I removed that since I didn't want to have a specific property for what
appears to be a generic need. I wanted to re-post something along the lines of
what was discussed in [1] and add operating mode support to the generic
regulator code.

So, for now I thought it made sense to set the operating mode to normal on
probe() but I'll change it to read from the hardware if that is better.

I guess I should check in the datasheet if a sane default operating mode for
LDOs is expected when the chip is reseted or if this is left undefined and also
if the bootloader already set this.

Best regards,
Javier
