Do your internal power grid documents indicate what these supplies are
powering? The question is if these supplies power any of the logic
inside the eDP controller or if they only supply power to the analog
circuits in the eDP phy. If it's the eDP phy only then the regulator
usage in the eDP driver should be removed. I would suspect this is the
case because the controller is probably all digital logic and runs at
the typical 1.8V that the rest of the SoC uses. Similarly, these are
voltage references which sound like a PLL reference voltage.

Please clarify this further.
