This isn't the general view for the regualtor API - we generally want all regulators to be registered in order to allow us to see what's going on with things even if we've not figured them out from software.
Oh, I said the above specifically because when I added the LDO configuration for the regulators that weren't used to the Tegra .dts files, you told me to remove it, based on the comment I put in there that they weren't used on the board.
The board shouldn't have to define the regulators, the regulator driver really ought to be able to figure out that they're there by itself if there's no configuration based purely on knowing which chip is there.
From that point of view it's OK for the chip .dtsi to have them (though
ideally the driver wouldn't *need* that either) which was what was happening here. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
