Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for the feedback.

Ack, I will remove last sentence.

You are right - these supplies power the PCIe slot/connector, not the controller
itself. However, as per my understanding, the current kernel practice is to
place slot supplies in the root complex node rather than the endpoint node. as
seen in e.g.:
- imx6q-pcie.yaml
- rockchip-dw-pcie.yaml
- rcar-pci-host.yaml

This seems consistent with those existing bindings, but please let me know if
I’m overlooking something specific to this case.

The TI SoC datasheet describes the controller interface but doesn’t define these
external supply rails - they are board-level regulators specific to the slot.
