[PATCH v2 1/3] dt-bindings: pfuze100: add optional disable switch-regulators binding
From: Marco Felsch
Date: Fri Jul 13 2018 - 08:50:22 EST
This binding is used to keep the backward compatibility with the current
dtb's [1]. The binding informs the driver that the unused switch regulators
can be disabled.
If it is not specified, the driver doesn't disable the switch regulators.

+ This binding is a workaround to keep backward compatibility with old dtb's
+ which rely on the fact that the switched regulators are always on and don't
+ mark them explicit as "regulator-always-on". On new dtbs this property should
+ always be present.
