So you need to add each regulator driver or worst case you need to add
PMIC drivers. If I remember correctly, I added the same for mci which
broke a lot of boards. Later you reverted those commit. Now Oleksij
added the regulator support for the fec driver and people are starting
to remove the phy-supply handle from the barebox-dt's (commit 84cf5cfa9a
("ARM: dts: imx6qdl: pfla02: Remove fec phy-supply")). I'm not again
this patch, just wanted to show the consequences of it.
