Ahhh, I finally see now, all parents of a bootph-* node get that
property. Makes sense.
Would you rather see it in the regulators node, or all of the actual
regulators (bucka12, buacka3... etc)?
The former is all that's *needed* to get the PMIC ESM probing and
programmed. The latter makes sense to me if we want to actual use the
regulators in the future in that context... Doing just *one* of the
regulators seems odd to me though, someone may want a different one,
so if we describe one to SPL we may as well describe all.
What are your thoughts?
