[PATCH 3/4] arm64: dts: qcom: x1-dell-thena: mark l12b and l15b always-on
From: Michael Scott
Date: Wed May 20 2026 - 20:42:40 EST
The l12b and l15b supplies are used by components that are not (fully)
described (and some never will be) and must never be disabled.
Mark the regulators as always-on to prevent them from being disabled,
for example, when consumers probe defer or suspend.
Note that these supplies currently have no consumers described in
mainline for dell-thena beyond the audio codec (vdd-buck/vdd-rxtx/
vdd-io on wcd938x), which can release them when the codec goes idle.
The board-level gpio-fixed regulators that feed the Type-C retimer's
VDDIO and other rails are not described with a vin-supply link, so
the kernel cannot keep their parent LDOs alive on its own.
This mirrors the same change Johan Hovold applied to every other
X1E80100 board in a March 2025 series; commit 63169c07d740
("arm64: dts: qcom: x1e80100-dell-xps13-9345: mark l12b and l15b always-on")
is representative. The dell-thena board file was introduced four months
later and did not inherit that change; this patch closes the gap.
