It's in the part of the patch that you trimmed in your reply. :D Thanks, Stephan @@ -1377,6 +1377,7 @@ static int rpm_regulator_init_vreg(struct qcom_rpm_reg *vreg, struct device *dev vreg->rpm = rpm; vreg->type = rpm_data->type; vreg->id = rpm_data->id; + vreg->is_enabled = -EINVAL; memcpy(&vreg->desc, rpm_data->desc, sizeof(vreg->desc)); vreg->desc.name = rpm_data->name;

At the moment unused regulators managed by the RPM firmware on Qualcomm platforms stay on forever if they are already on during boot. This is because we have no way of checking if they are really on or not. Fix this by sending an explicit disable request for all unused regulators managed by the qcom_smd-regulator driver. I'm sending this as RFC mainly for the change in the regulator core. There is also a slight chance of breakage for incomplete device trees that mistakenly rely on having unused regulators always-on.
