Regulators should never be marked as optional unless they can be physically absent. It is true that Linux has code to handle partially defined device trees but we shouldn't rely on other OSs having similar code and it's better practice to have board device trees be fully specified, it means that if we need the regulator information for some future thing it's more likely to be there and it's less likely that bugs which do things like cause the regulator to be powered off incorrectly will be introduced in future. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
