Re: [PATCH v2] mmc: sdhci: apply voltage range check only fornon-fixed regulators

[Philip Rakity]

Hi Marek,

Is the regulator dedicated ?  or is it shared ?   Is it used for eMMC ?

If it cannot be turned off -- then just don't list it in the regulators list for vmmc.  

If it CAN be turned off then need to get back to you.
