Yikes.. ok.. I'd let Tony et.al make the call on this, I guess.

Aaah.. My apologies.. I was confused. Thanks for clarifying.

I am sure to trust you on the test log :) ->  but then from dts 
description perspective, it is good if we describe the supplies, even as 
a always on fixed-regulator. We had instances like 2430SDP ethernet 
where... umm... we originally missed describing ethernet supply and 
boom, one fine morning, no more nfs filesystem - I mean, it is a one off 
scenario there, but describing regulators helps us atleast understand 
the power tree of the board a little better.

Again, no strong opinions on my side, it is a good thing to do is all I 
feel about it.
