RE: [PATCH v4 1/2] platform/x86: int3472: Add TPS68470 board data for Intel nvl

["T, Arun" <arun.t@intel.com>]

Hi Sakari, 

The TPS68470 is providing multiple regulators. The VIO regulator is enabled as default ON. The Core, Ana, VCM, and VSIO regulators are enabled to provide power to the ov13b10 sensor. These regulators only get enabled after adding the always_on=true flag.

The sensor does not get powered on without the always_on=true flag. I think there is some issue in driver/regulator/tps68470-regulator.c for configuring the regulator through regulator_enable(). I think always_on=true is good for this case. Please let me know if anything needs to be done on this.

Arun T

Could you reply to my earlier reviews?

First and foremost, we still have eight regulators configured for a device that uses three. Some of them have been declared as always_on, too, for no apparent reason.
