I suppose this should be 'qca->vreg_data->vregs[i].load_uA'

It's still not clear why this would be needed. Is 1uA a magic value
that is somehow used by RPMh regulators?

Earlier you said:

This is the ->set_load function of the RPMh regulator:

static int rpmh_regulator_vrm_set_load(struct regulator_dev *rdev, int load_uA)
{
struct rpmh_vreg *vreg = rdev_get_drvdata(rdev);
unsigned int mode;

if (load_uA >= vreg->hw_data->hpm_min_load_uA)
mode = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL;
else
mode = REGULATOR_MODE_IDLE;

return rpmh_regulator_vrm_set_mode(rdev, mode);
}

and REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL translates to HPM for PMIC4 LDOs:

static const int pmic_mode_map_pmic4_ldo[REGULATOR_MODE_STANDBY + 1] = {
[REGULATOR_MODE_INVALID] = -EINVAL,
[REGULATOR_MODE_STANDBY] = PMIC4_LDO_MODE_RETENTION,
[REGULATOR_MODE_IDLE] = PMIC4_LDO_MODE_LPM,
[REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL] = PMIC4_LDO_MODE_HPM,
[REGULATOR_MODE_FAST] = -EINVAL,
};

I don't see how a load value of 1uA would cause the regulator to enter
HPM and another higher value wouldn't. HPM is entered as long as
'load_uA >= vreg->hw_data->hpm_min_load_uA', or am I missing
something here?
