Sorry, I will add all necessary people to CC list to v3.

Yes, "0" refers to DVS0 registers, and "1" refers to DVS1.
and there is only DVS0 and DVS1, so I use boolean to check which one is used.

Is it more understandable if I modify that to enum ? And description will be like this

richtek,mtp-sel:
enum: [0, 1]
description: |
vout register selection besed on this value.
0 - Using DVS0 register setting to adjust vout
1 - Using DVS1 register setting to adjust vout

Should I revise that like this ?

patternProperties:
"^regulator-state-mem$":

Does "additionalProperties: true" mean I need to define my own property ?
If yes, I misunderstood additionalProperties as properties like "regulator-on-in-suspend" or "regulator-mode".

I'll modify the node name to

regulator@10

in v3
