Yes, BrianN pointed that out and it will be fixed.

The reason we do it this way is because the PCIe controller does not
know or care what the names of the supplies are, or how many there
will be.  The list of regulators can be different for each board we
support, as these regulators turn on/off the downstream EP device.
All the PCIe controller does is turn on/off this list of regulators
when booting,resuming/suspending.

An alternative would have the node specifying the standard properties

xyz-supply = <&xyz_reg>;
abc-supply = <&abc_reg>;
pdq-supply = <&pdq_reg>;
...

and then have this driver search all of the properties in the PCIe
node for names matching /-supply$/, and then create a list of phandles
from that.  Is that what you would like?

Thanks, Jim
