I don't understand that... is your PHY defining the regulators or using supplies? If it needs a regulator (as a supply), you need to document supplies, using existing bindings.quoted

They're trying to have a generic driver which works with any random PHY so the binding has no idea what supplies it might need.quoted

OK, that makes sense, but then question is why not using existing naming, so "supplies" and "supply-names"?quoted
I'm not saying it is not possible, but in general, the names are not interesting. All that is needed is that they are all on, or potentially all off to save power on shutdown. We don't care how many there are, or what order they are enabled.I think Krzysztof is referring to the name of the property rather than the contents of the -names property there.
Yes, exactly. Existing pattern for single regulator supply is
"xxx-supply", so why this uses a bit different pattern instead of
something more consistent ("supplies" and "supply-names")?
Best regards,
Krzysztof
