The regulator driver for AXP20x was added in v3.16, so this patch could currently be relevant for the v3.18.y and v4.1.y trees. (In those trees the corresponding platform devices, which are needed to make this alias useful, appear to be present.) Same question for 07949bf9c63c ("cpufreq: dt: allow driver to boot automatically"), I guess. Paul Bolle
