I think there is no clear conclusion on that yet. The old bindings
didn't describe any power supplies for WiFi at all. The pwrseq bindings
are currently the only way to do that.
We could potentially move all the "PMU supplies" to the WiFi/BT nodes
and rely on reference counting to handle them. But I think it's better
to wait how the M.2/generic PCI power control discussion turns out
before investing any time to refactor the current solution.
There are existing users of qcom,wcn7850-pmu already in 6.11, so I think
it does not hurt to take this patch as-is for now. We can clean them up
together later if needed.
Thanks,
Stephan
