From the PMIC perspective every regulator can be enabled and disabled. From a Board perspective there are some which need to be always on. For Ex: SMPS123 which feeds on to the MPU. I guess RTC also needs the supply to be on as long as we want the clock to be ticking. > Also adding temporary dts entries just causes more churn on the > dts files which is a PITA for everybody. > > Regards, > > Tony Regards, Keerthy
