Make sense. and even better.

I believe you are referring to,

regulator-min-microamp = <3000000>;
regulator-max-microamp = <6000000>;

And provide set_current_limit() callback, to set the dualphase.

Just to clarify more on this,

The DT property would look something like,

regulators {
compatible = "marvell,88pm80x-regulator";

buck1a: BUCK1A {
regulator-compatible = "buck1";
regulator-min-microvolt = <600000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <1800000>;

regulator-min-microamp = <3000000>;
regulator-max-microamp = <6000000>;

regulator-boot-on;
regulator-always-on;
};

buck1b: BUCK1B {
regulator-compatible = "buck1b";
regulator-min-microvolt = <600000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <1800000>;

regulator-min-microamp = <3000000>;
regulator-max-microamp = <6000000>;

regulator-boot-on;
regulator-always-on;
};
};


And for the platforms, where dual phase is not required,
we can either choose not to set these properties or set it to


regulator-min-microamp = <3000000>;
regulator-max-microamp = <3000000>;


Thanks,
Vaibhav
