Hi Chukun,

Sorry, I missed your mail due recent problem of my client..

I have confidence that pcie port need to add a regulator to provide 
supply for devices..

But, I'm not sure whether it's ok to remove regulator from &pciex node,
it's possibly a 'yes' answer, but to convince me, I'd like to see a real
test case to prove it: e.g, power supply for pciex is actually off before 
the driver initialization, then run regular procedure as it should, if
all works fine

Btw, different drivers request same regulator is ok, and is quite normal,
can't draw a conclusion that it's a duplication, as they may be used for
different reasons

I've not really looked at this, and not an expert on this area, so will
leave this to Alex or PCIe maintainers..
