SubjectRe: [PATCH v5 09/10] regulator: add mt6357 regulator
Hi Alexandre, All

Please, treat my review more as initiation for discussion than 'hard
requirements' for this driver. I am in no point or no "confidence level"
to give you any requirements ;)

If I read this right, the device has separate register(s) for writing
and reading the voltage? I wonder if this is a completely unique setup?

If this is not unique, then it might be worth adding another field for
'vsel_get' register and a flag in regulator desc - and modify the
generic regmap helpers to handle this in common code if the special
register? Not sure if this HW design is common enough to warrant the
added confusion though. You and Mark may have more insight.

I am unsure if we should aim for dropping the REGULATOR_LINEAR_RANGE()
and using the LINEAR_RANGE(). If yes, then it might simplify things if
new drivers used LINEAR_RANGE() from the day 1. If we don't, then it
makes sense to keep consistently using REGULATOR_LINEAR_RANGE() for all
of the drivers. I am not sure which way is the right way.

I am unsure what data do you need from the parent. If it is just the
regmap / device-tree node / device, then it does not (in my opinion)
really warrant using parent's drvdata. One can often get away with the
dev_get_regmap(pdev->dev.parent, NULL).

Anyways, the driver looks good to me.
