Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the patch! I've looked into this a bit now and I found 3 things:

1) The vcc_3v3 regulator (DCDC1 on the PMIC) already has the
regulator-always-on property, so should never be turned off even if there
are no consumers.

2) As far as I can tell the schematic for both the 1.2A and 1.3B says the PHYs
are powered by DCDC6 (and not DCDC1) on the PMIC via the VDD33_IO line.

3) There doesn't seem to be any generic code in the dwmac driver handling the
phy-supply property, only the Rockchip wrapper (dwmac-rk.c) does that.

So all in all I'm a little confused how this change can make a difference for
you.

@Walker does the above and 2) in particular seem correct to you?

I'd expect something like the following instead (although split in 3 patches).
Daniel, does this work for you?
