[PATCH] mci: add hint on how to resolve warning about vmmc-supply

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For legacy reasons, we do not fail the MCI registration when a regulator
can't be immediately requested, but we at least print a warning when
this happens. Add a comment guiding the user into how to resolve the
warning.
