You're right. It should be dropped. Thank you.

Regulator notifications are handled by lp8755 consumer and lp8755 can provide more events than general regulator notification to lp8755 regulator consumer. IMO lp8755 consumer need to know more information than general regulator notification.
Lp8755 actually support interrupt for temperature and current load but my board version disable as a default value. Other version could be enabled, those are for others.
Thank you for your comments.
