Ugh, this looks like it might be a regulator driver but since the
subject line was "ARM: " I deleted it unread - if your changelog looks
different to all the other changelogs in the subsystem it probably needs
changing.

sorry about the confusion, i will remove ARM in the next version.

Changelog? I didn't send a changelog because it was my first version.

Should i resend this version only to you?


+ sreg = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*sreg), GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (!sreg)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+ sreg->initdata = initdata;
+ sreg->name = of_get_property(np, "regulator-name", NULL);

I'm not keen on using of_get_property here. We have no idea if
regulator-name is even a string (it should be, but we have no
guarantee).

Better using of_property_read_string?

Yes. That will check the value is NUL-terminated, at least.

Or just remove the property entirely... without having seen the
bindings if we're specifying the name of the device via the device tree
something seems wrong.
