Hi Stephen,

This patch should have been marked as RFC.

Thanks for the review.

As of now adv7343 via DT binding is not enabled in any platforms
so this wont break any DT ABI.

As of now the driver isn’t enabling/accepting the regulators,
so should I add those in DT properties or not ?

Yes these were HW configuration but, its now internally handled in
the driver.  The 'ad,adv7343-power-mode-dac' property which enabled the
DAC's 1..6 , so now in the driver by default all the DAC's are enabled by
default and enable unconnected DAC auto power down. Similarly
'ad,adv7343-sd-config-dac-out' property enabled SD DAC's 1..2 but
now is enabled by reading the CABLE DETECT register which tells
the status of DAC1/2.
