Thank you for your kind comments.
My understanding is getting better.

For my clear understanding:
I think the original designed which I wanted to design is similar
with arizona-ldo1.c
It seems that this is 1st pattern your explained above.
Can I ask what is different between arizona-ldo1.c and
this sky81452-regulator.c?
I think both are designed under root node.

Thank you.
