Ping...Mark (or Liam?), any thoughts on an appropriate path forward on this?

Make it a regular regulator driver please.


The existing userspace-consumer regulator driver does provide some of the functionality I'm looking for (the on/off switch), and I think would be pretty easy to extend to provide the rest of it as well. When I previously proposed using it as such though, Mark stated quite firmly that that wasn't going to fly [0]; this approach was my attempt at implementing a generic, abstracted mechanism as he had suggested later in that thread, though I haven't gotten any further feedback from him on what he thought of it.

If he's had a change of heart and would be open to the userspace-consumer driver taking on a bit of new functionality I'd be happy to go that route though.
