Hi Ezequiel and Peter,

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Peter - I will resubmit the tcs4526 patch along these lines.

This is the draft that I have been working on within LibreELEC10, still
a ways to go I'm afraid. Having decided to getting the SBC to run
mainline kernel and u-boot. The regulator and subsequent regulator fix
will hopefully address https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212917 
too. As you have identified - it is not ready for upstreaming :-)

Thank you both for the direction and pointers on the dts. I will get the
v2 patch going first.

Only disabled within my WIP dts so as to focus my attention on successful 
running of LE10 on the rk3399pro, before I move to attempting to enable 
the NPU and the other nodes.

I will look it to this. 

Now with the addition of the regulator and Peter's fix I will start
qualifing each of the dts nodes and the correct options against the
schematic.

Will check.
