Ok, I'll squash those for v2.

Yes, I made that swap based on comments in the downstream kernel, but,
now that I think about it, there's a good chance those comments are
wrong. The downstream kernel configures both pins as 8 mA drive with no
bias, so no one would ever notice that they were swapped. I think I'll
swap them back in v2. In practice I think the pin configuration makes
little difference, but should I keep the config from the Dragonboard or
match the downstream kernel?

It probably doesn't work as intended, but doesn't cause a major
problem either. I only noticed the failure while looking through dmesg.
As soon as the RPM driver probe gets to an always on regulator with a not
yet initialized supply, devm_regulator_register() returns -EAGAIN, it
breaks out of the loop, and the rest of the regulators don't get
initialized. The initialization is retried several times during boot
(because of -EAGAIN), but always fails at the same spot. This doesn't
actually seem to cause any visible problem, other than errors in dmesg.

I tried making the driver continue to initialize the rest of the
regulators even if one fails with -EAGAIN, but still return -EAGAIN from
probe(). My thought was that this would cause probe to be retried later,
and initialization would succeed now that the supply regulators were
available, but instead it seems to hang before any console output.

I don't know if the regulator supplies are correct either, because the
downstream kernel doesn't specify them. I also know next to nothing about
the RPM, so I would definitely appreciate a review from someone familiar
with it.

That was just copied from the Dragonboard DTS, with updated values from
the downstream kernel. I assume some kind of voltage/frequency scaling
driver is needed to actually support a range of voltages here, so I
guess the comments could serve as a reference if that was ever
implemented.
