For RPMH regulators it doesn't make sense to indicate
regulator-allow-set-load without saying what modes you can switch to,
so be sure to indicate a dependency on regulator-allowed-modes.

With this in place devicetree validation can catch issues like this:

    /mnt/extrassd/git/linux-next/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sm8350-hdk.dtb: pm8350-rpmh-regulators: ldo5: 'regulator-allowed-modes' is a dependency of 'regulator-allow-set-load'
            From schema: /mnt/extrassd/git/linux-next/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/qcom,rpmh-regulator.yaml

Hmmmm.... What about other regulators?

My understanding (which very well might be wrong) is that if your
regulator is allowed to change modes, and sets regulator-allow-set-load,
then you have to describe what modes you can switch to.

But if you don't allow setting modes (for example qcom_rpm-regulator.c)
and just allow yourself to set_load() directly, then you don't need it.

So there is a more general requirement that applies regulator wide, but
I'm not sure how you would apply that at a higher level. I don't see a
good way to figure out in dt-binding land what regulator ops each
binding supports.

Hope that makes sense,
Andrew

The bindings don't express it, but the regulator core explicitly asks
for set_mode with set_load callbacks in drms_uA_update(), which depends
on REGULATOR_CHANGE_DRMS (toggled with regulator-allow-set-load).

drms_uA_update() later calls regulator_mode_constrain() which checks if
mode changing is allowed (REGULATOR_CHANGE_MODE).

Therefore based on current implementation and meaning of
set-load/allowed-modes properties, I would say that this applies to all
regulators. I don't think that RPMh is special here.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
