The *_SSHUB regulators are actually alternate configuration interfaces
for their non *_SSHUB counterparts. They are not separate regulator
outputs. These registers are intended for the companion processor to
use to configure the power rails while the main processor is sleeping.
They are not intended for the main operating system to use.
Since they are not real outputs they shouldn't be modeled separately.
Remove them. Luckily no device tree actually uses them.
I'm not sure that MT6358/6366 are used only on Chromebook SoCs, and that this SSHUB
mechanism (companion processor) is the same across all firmwares.
AFAICT from Internet sources there's also the MT6771 and MT6781, which
are used on some phones.
But what part are you concerned about? The upstream regulator driver does
not actually have any code to switch to/from normal operation and SSHUB
mode.
In a downstream kernel I found that the SSHUB mode is only used if SCP is
doing DVFS [1]. In that same kernel, the regulator driver [2] doesn't even
list the *_SSHUB versions. So if SCP DVFS is used, the regulator driver
has no idea what's going on, and can't interfere either, which I think is
actually a good thing. Only one side should have complete control of one
output.
Ok, I'm sold! :-P
Jokes apart, thanks for clarifying. At this point, I agree with you in that this
is safe to do, so:

P.S.: Sorry for the late reply and thank you for the links to that old
downstream kernel.
Cheers,

I'd like someone from MediaTek to confirm that this is valid for both Chromebook
and Smartphone firmwares.
