AFAIK the separate v5 / 12v regulators you're creating here
are not used anywhere. So I guess there just here to
accurately / completely describe the power topology ?

The always on here seems to a bit weird, wasn't the
whole purpose of this patch set to teach ahci_platform
to turn it on as needed ?

You do probably want to put a regulator-boot-on here so
that disks do not get an unwanted powercycle (bad for
their lifetime) when the firmware has already turned on
the disk. Downside of using regulator-boot-on is that if
the power is not actually turned on no power-on-delay is
done, but we're not using a power on delay anyways.

The same goes for reg_sata2 & reg_sata3.
