> The IMX28 PMU (Power Management Unit) has a dedicated Linear Regulator
> to produce (by default) 4.2V output - available outside the chip as
> VDD_4P2.
> When system is supposed to not use VDD5V as a main power source - instead
> the DCDC_BATT is used; it is safe to disable this regulator.
> As the in-PMU DCDC switching regulator (from which DCDC_VDDA, DCDC_VDDIO
> and DCDC_VDDD are generated) can be driven from DCDC_BATT or output
> of this 4P2 regulator - by disabling the latter the use of the DCDC_BATT
> is forced.
> To be more specific - according to NXP's AN4199 the DCDC_BATT source is
> preferred (over VDD5V), as more efficient and stable source for
> industrial applications.
