Hi Jon, I will update the patch per your comment.
Thanks.
Here is answer for some of the query. Thanks, Laxman On Tuesday 15 November 2016 08:37 PM, Jon Hunter wrote:quoted

My feeling is that if all use-cases today are using either 1.8V or 3.3V, then may be we should not worry about this and only support either 1.8V or 3.3V. I would be more in favour of supporting other voltages if there is a real need.

Seems to be a lot of duplicated information from the other structs. Why not add the regulator and regulator_nb to the main struct? OK, not all io_pads have a regulator but you are only saving one pointer.Yes, some of IO pads support multi-voltage.
Yes, but I am saying why not put this information in the main struct and not bother having yet another struct where half of the information is duplicated.

Do we need to support a range? Or does the h/w support a range of voltages? I am just wondering why we cannot check explicitly for 1.8V or 3.3V and treat anything else as an error.Two voltage level, not range.
Ok, then I think it would be much simpler if we just support the voltages we are using today. Cheers Jon -- nvpublic
