This is a *very* long list relative to something that was never posted

Unrelated whitespace change.

Please keep the entire comment a C++ one so things look more
intentional.

It is worrying that a regulator driver should need the interfaces for
machines... the driver doesn't look like it actually does though.

You should be able to remove the stuff about looking for the regulators
node and just set of_match and regulators_node in the descs.

The number of regulators the device supports should be known from the
compatible, I'd expect a data table for this. It should be possible to
read the state of regulators not described in the DT.

No readback support?

The driver should not do not do this - the driver should only configure
the hardware if told to by the core which in turn will only do this if
there's explicit permission to do so in the machine constraints. We
don't know what some system integrator might have thought to do with
the device.

This one is more OK - it's changing the state of the outputs that's an
issue. I guess this might cause the outputs to come on though if the
GPIO was left off by the bootloader which is awkward. If there's
nothing other than the outputs going on with the chip I would be tempted
to map this onto the per regulator enable GPIO that the core supports,
the core will then be able to manage the low power state at runtime.
That's *probably* the least bad option we have with current interfaces.

It's a real shame we can't easily get the GPIO state at startup for
bootstrapping :/
