This is in general something that a driver should know as a result of knowing which regulator it's dealing with - in many cases these are properties which can be varied at runtime on hardware which has register control. Replicating this into the device tree would make things more error prone. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
