I completely agree with that, but here is the usecase:
- A OPP-user driver doesn't need to call any special OPP API and OPP
layer can allocate the regulator for it using <device>-name. This
will make all drivers (that follow this nomenclature in DT) very
simple and straight-forward.
- But then there are drivers, which need special supply-name. They can
always call opp-set-regulator API to mention that, no one is
stopping them from that.
And so I still believe, OPP layer has only this option to do it
generically.
Comments ?
