Why exactly are these regulators optional? The distinction is somewhat subtle, but the other way to look at modelling this in DT is that the supplies are in fact required, but may be connected to an always-on regulator with a fixed voltage. Or in some cases they may also be shorted to ground. In both cases the PCI controller, or rather the slot that the controller connects to, actually "requires" the supplies, it's just that we can get away without describing them because they can't be controlled anyway. Looking at the PCI connector pinout for PCI Express, I do see a bunch of +3.3 V and +12 V pins. To me that indicates that the 3.3 V and 12 V supplies are indeed required for PCI slots. I'm not sure about devices that are directly connected to the PCI controller, though. I'll need to go look at some schematics to get a better understanding of these. Bottom line: I'm wondering if we shouldn't really make these supplies mandatory and in case where we don't care either just leave them away (the regulator framework will supply a dummy regulator in that case) or hook them up to a fixed regulator if that matches the hardware design. Any thoughts?

Why exactly > are these regulators optional? I made them optional because, the number and type of supplies typically depend on the kind of slot the controller is owning. If it is a CEM slot, then, it needs 3.3V & 12V supplies and if it is an M.2 Key-E/M slot, it needs only 3.3V supply. Also, if there are on-board PCIe endpoint devices, supplies may vary again from vendor to vendor. Considering all these, I made them optional instead of mandatory. Also, I agree that regulator framework supplies a dummy regulator if we make them mandatory but doesn't supply one, but it does so with a warning print in the log which I feel is an unwanted alert and to avoid that one has to supply dummy/fixed regulators which again seems an overkill when all of this can be addressed by making slot regulators optional. > > The distinction is somewhat subtle, but the other way to look at > modelling this in DT is that the supplies are in fact required, but may > be connected to an always-on regulator with a fixed voltage.

Okay. That sounds like a good reason to make these optional indeed. There is no way for the PCI controller to know exactly which regulators will be needed. The only case where it is known is that of the regular PCIe slot where the 3.3 V and 12 V are mandatory. But since it isn't always a standard PCIe slot that the controller drives, I think optional is okay in this case.
