Yes, I'll add that as a separate patch to v4.  It will be a new file since
there currently isn't any pmbus or ltc2978 bindings documentation that I
could find.

That's cool.  I'll do it.

These are just default names, but I think I could make the name better.
How about <part #>-<i2c address>-vout<#> such as "ltc2978-5c-vout0"

If the board has regulator_init_data, then these default names get overwritten.
In my case, I'm just using 3 supplies so those 3 get overwritten:

root@socfpga_cyclone5:/sys/class/regulator# cat */name
regulator-dummy
FPGA-2.5V
vout_en1
FPGA-1.5V
vout_en3
FPGA-1.1V
vout_en5
vout_en6
vout_en7

I'll change it.

That sounds right to me.  I'll do that.

OK, that will be cleaner.

Thanks for the feedback,
