Hi Rob,

1. Driver is already capable of that using platform data. Hence added
support to read DT property & initialize the same for multiple
supplies instead of being limited to one.
2. This is particularly useful in cases wherein 2 or more regulators
are coupled together, for example in a PCIe connector having 3.3V &
12V.

I am not sure that's a valid reason. Bindings focus on the hardware. We
do not describe here driver capabilities.

Commit message should explain this. Each commit, when not obvious,
should say why you are doing things.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Hmm -- apologies if I pointed you in the wrong direction here on the 
last revision (or should have considered this earlier), but is there a 
particular need for this arrangement to be described by a single 
regulator-output DT node instead of just having one node per supply?  If 
they're independently-controlled voltage outputs, treating them as two 
separate things instead of a single ganged one seems like it might be 
more appropriate anyway...
