[RFC PATCH] ARM: dts: imx6qdl: specify vcc-supply for NOP USB PHYs

From: Ahmad Fatoum
Date: Fri Nov 13 2020 - 10:29:10 EST


The SoC dtsi lists a NOP USB PHY for each of the two HSIC-only USB
controllers. Their device tree node doesn't indicate a vcc-supply
resulting in:

usb_phy_generic usbphynop1: supply vcc not found, using dummy regulator
usb_phy_generic usbphynop2: supply vcc not found, using dummy regulator

warnings on boot up. The USB IP vcc-supply - separate from the vusb - is
hardwired to LDO_2P5[1], which we already have a device tree node for.
Reference it for the dummy "phy" as well.

This will lead to breakage (probe deferment) for kernels that:
- Use a HSIC USB controller
- Use this new device tree
- but have CONFIG_REGULATOR_ANATOP disabled

Because while the regulator is always-on, it can't be resolved when
there is no driver for it.

As there are

- no affected upstream device trees
- existing device trees are unaffected without recompilation
- disabling CONFIG_REGULATOR_ANATOP is explicitly a non-recommended
configuration per symbol help text

this potential breakage is deemed acceptable.
