SoC ? -> could you rephrase this to indicate "certain SoCs such as
DRA7, RTC is an independent voltage domain of it's own and on
platforms such as DRA7-evm, this may be supplied by individual
regulator on it's own.

Question ofcourse is what voltage would you like that regulator to be
at? As you are aware, certain LDOs and SMPS can drive varying voltage
and just enable/disable would do just the default voltage of the
SMPS/LDO, right? OR am i missing something here?

"phandle to supply regulator" ? since it is optional, "if needed" is
redundant?

would be nice to print the result as well - since it helps debug from
log a little easier.
