Hello Dawei,
I was under the impression that the regulator and EMI were different hardware,
while effectively they are inside of the DVFS Resource Collector IP, and the
registers look like being a bit mixed up, so it's impossible to actually
specify a relative iospace for the regulator, or for the EMI.

In this case, from what I understand right now, the emi and regulator are not
different hardware, but "features of" the DVFS Resource Collector.

I've done some research around the kernel and, effectively, the only way that
makes sense, is to register the feature-drivers (emi/vreg) with
platform_device_register_data(), as per your current approach, even though I
have a hunch that it will look a bit confusing in device-tree, as you'd be using
the same node for both regulator and interconnects...

I would exclude doing it as a MFD driver, as I don't see any very clean way to
actually implement that.

At this point, let's just keep it as it is, or this would probably get a lot
overcomplicated for no good reasons.
So, please ignore the device-tree suggestion and go on with the other suggested
fixes for this driver.

Looking forward to see your v4!

Kind regards,
Angelo
