I'm worried that this file represents the limits of the PMIC itself,
whereas the DT should be representing the limits of the circuits that
the various PMIC regulators are attached to on the board.
For example:
diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/tps65090.dtsi b/arch/arm/boot/dts/tps65090.dtsi
tps65090_fet3: fet3 {
+ regulator-min-microvolt = <3000000>;
+ regulator-max-microvolt = <5500000>;
};
I guess that on some boards, this output rail might be attached to
devices that must run at 3.3V exactly, and on other boards it might be
attached to devices that must run at 5V exactly. The DT for those two
boards should each have regulator-{min,max}-microvolt set to the same
value, which describes the board requirements.
It feels dangerous/misleading to define the PMIC range by default. It
might lead people to think that since the property already has a defined
value, they don't need to think about what the correct value for their
board is, and hence not change the value in their board file.
