thanks again. Now i unterstand much more, but otherwise the portation 
won't be straight forward. The old source in 
drivers/regulator/mxs-regulator.c needs a low level part located in 
arch/arm/plat-mx28/power.c . As far as i know, the low level part needs 
to move into the devicetree binding and into the mxs-regulator.c . Am i 
right?

Yesterday i had looked into the mx28 reference manual and into the low 
level part of the mxs regulator. The reference manual defines four 
voltage regulators: vddd, vdda, vddio and vddmem plus a overall current 
regulator. But the low level part make use of vddd, vdda, vddio, 
vddio_bo and the overall current.

Do i need the brown out regulator (vddio_bo) and the vddmem?

Stefan
