It is now possible to use a regulator property for each port of the
AHCI controller.

I'm sorry, but I've to NAK this, I did not follow the regulator discussion.,
thinking that it was just about the use of some utility function vs diy or
some such, I had no idea this would impact the dt-binding.

The -port%d- bit is completely unnecessary from a dt pov. Devicetree is
supposed to be OS agnostic, we cannot make the dt-binding ugly just because
the regulator subsys in Linux does not provide the necessary functionality.

I'm afraid you will have to get back to the regulator subsys people and tell
them that we really need an of_regulator_get, so that we can tell the
regulator subsys we want a regulator from a specific of_node.

Please CC me when you re-open the discussion with the regulator people.

Hans
