Add support for the SG Micro SGM3804 Single Inductor Dual Output
Buck/Boost Converter used to power LCD panels a provide positive
and negative power rails with configurable voltage and active
discharge function for each output.
The SGM3804 is powered by the enable GPIO pins inputs and only
supports I2C write messages.
In order to add flexibility and simplify the driver, the
regmap cache is enabled and populated with default values
since we can't write registers when the 2 GPIOs are down.
This regulator is used to provide vsn and vsn power to the
Ayaneo Pocket S2 dual-DSI LCD panel.

Changes in v3:
- Change header in c++ comment block
- Switch to regcache dirty/only instead of custom handling
- Use GPIO_ASIS to avoid turning off regulator on boot
- Use gpio cansleep
- Add my MODULE_AUTHOR and reorder the signoff
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260430-topic-sm8650-ayaneo-pocket-s2-sgm3804-v2-0-76108c65a560@linaro.org
Changes in v2:
- Fixed bindings subject and gpios minItems
- Fixed regulator signed-off order
- Added second MODULE_AUTHOR entry
- Added more comments on how regmap cache is configured to work
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260428-topic-sm8650-ayaneo-pocket-s2-sgm3804-v1-0-1d8dc7620256@linaro.org

So this fails with Rob's bot and with DTBS_CHECK with board DT but I can't make
it fail with dt_binding_check on my side.
enable-gpios: [[88, 59, 0], [88, 58, 0]] is too long
But I found out in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio-consumer-common.yaml :
enable-gpios:
maxItems: 1
description:
GPIO connected to the enable control pin.
This was rather unexpected...
So I'll probably need update the bindings to mode the enable gpios in the subnodes instead.

My bot found errors running 'make dt_binding_check' on your patch:
yamllint warnings/errors:
dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:
/builds/robherring/dt-review-ci/linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/sgmicro,sgm3804.example.dtb: regulator@3e (sgmicro,sgm3804): enable-gpios: [[4294967295, 17, 0], [4294967295, 18, 0]] is too long
from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/gpio/gpio-consumer-common.yaml
doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):
See https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/devicetree/patch/20260504-topic-sm8650-ayaneo-pocket-s2-sgm3804-v3-1-c4783443890b@linaro.org
The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.
If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:
pip3 install dtschema --upgrade
Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.

The sorting is off here (and in Kconfig).

A stray gpiod_set_value() here.

Drop DT_SCHEMA_FILES and test against all bindings to reproduce this.

Yes, if these GPIOs control specific regulators, convention is to put
them inside the regulator subnodes. Many other devices do it. This is a
bit different approach than with input supplies, which are supposed to
be put in top-level, even if they are dedicated to specific regulators.
Best regards,
Krzysztof
