Hello Mark,
Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, patch #3 updates the regulator DT binding doc and documents what each regulator mode is supposed to be. Basically is just a short description of what is already documented in linux/regulator/consumer.h [0].
If what is enough for you I can reorganize the patch-set so that patch is the first one.
As a general question, now that the convention is for DT binding docs to go in a separate patch, should the DT documentation be added before or after that code using these bindings is added?
That is something that is not explained in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt.
Best regards, Javier
