Hi
There are also many other devices like display and mmc and even
the cpu(if the cpu want run a high frequency when boot up)need to
get power supply from PMIC, so it is better to load PMIC as early as
possible.Built-in is a better choice.

Builtin are:
* I2C as it often controls the pmic.
Having I2C as a module will cause more probe deferrals due missing
regulators and slow down the boot but it should not cause issues.
Or am I missing something?
In fact, I think even the PMIC could be built as a module.
It could in principle. However as a lot of other drivers do need the
regulators provided by the pmic, they'll be deferred until that driver
is loaded. So e.g. with the i2c/pmic drivers as a module you cannot
boot to an NFS rootfs without using an initramfs.
But I don't have a strong opinion on this so patch looks good:
