Thanks, Krzysztof! Really appreciate your input, as I'm currently not a 
regular contributor to the kernel.

You're right. Looking at the vendor driver for each of models I could 
see that it defined AVDD and VDD in both drivers. So I thought it could 
make sense to offer it for the entire chip family, with which I meant 
all HX831xx in this case.

But it seems after some more testing (and with this touch IC family 
generally being a part of the display controller) the regulators are 
sufficiently handled by the panel driver / bootloader for the use case 
of having the touchscreen on when the display is on.
It wouldn't allow for waking the screen by using the touchscreen, and 
while I'd have to go back to the original OS on the device to verify 
this again, I don't remember that working on the original OS either.

So I'm thinking I may drop the whole regulator part of the patchset to 
keep it smaller.

That's pretty neat. If I do decide to bring in regulator handling this 
removes quite a bit of boilerplate.

Same here. Thanks for the hint.

I'll be sending a v2 shortly.

Thanks again,
