Hi Prabhakar,

thanks for this series!

Two high-level questions:

- can't we use .enable/.disable in regulator_ops for handling pwen?
  Then we could simply use regulator_en/disable in the code and be future
  proof when other SDHI instances have other kinds of regulators (unless
  I am mising something)

- what about not using regmap and use set/get_voltage and friends? My
  concern is that other "new" registers might appear in the future and
  it will be cumbersome to handle the scattered IO regions.

That said, having a regulator is not a quirk in my book. I'd think
'struct renesas_sdhi' is the proper place. Or?

Looking forward to your comments,
