Hi!

Wouldn’t it be easier to simply write

&uart1 {
	vdd-suppy = <&vaux4>;
}

Easier to write: certainly.
Easier to justify? No.

I just justified.

Easier to get merged upstream?  Definitely not.

Are you the maintainer?

And you? I believe Neil is right here, and this kind of shortcut can
not be taken.

After all, the uart itself doesn't require a power supply.
It is the device connected to the uart which requires the power supply.

Yes.

There's UART, long rs/232 cable, and a GPS.

UART needs some kind of power supply, to present voltages on the
rs/232 cable.

GPS needs some kind of power supply to work.

They are different power supplies, and we should have way to tell them
apart.
