[PATCH v1] ASoC: codecs: wcd937x: Add conditional regulator control for wcd937x

From: karthik.s

Date: Thu Apr 02 2026 - 03:17:41 EST


Add has_always_on_supplies for managing regulators. Indicates that
the codec supply regulators are always enabled by the system and
must not be requested or enabled by the codec driver.
