From a8409c65df76033a496c2dbcec303a3a5e4afc3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Petazzoni Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2015 15:28:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dts: armada-38x: use regulator-boot-on for SATA regulators on Armada 388 GP Really, what we meant by regulator-always-on is that the regulators are already turned on by the bootloader, for which regulator-boot-on is a better description. A net advantage of using regulator-boot-on is that the regulator is not touched at boot time by the kernel, which avoids having the hard drives spinning down and then up again, taking several (~5) seconds of additional boot time. In addition, there is no need to have such properties on the child regulators used for SATA. Having it on the parent regulator that really controls the GPIO is sufficient.
