Now you are advocating for the dummy regulator again. Well, no. I'm saying that people are being far too trigger happy with it and that if someone wants to add a mechanism for turning it on they need to deal with the fact that it currntly warns every time it does anything but there are some resonable use cases, especially on very old boards. The main thing here is to avoid these driver specific bodges that people keep churning out again and again, it's quite depressing really. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
