It wasn't meant as a requirement, more like a thought I had and wanted to 
discuss ;-) . So far I also only saw talks about devicetree overlays but 
never in action yet.

I would have hoped there to be some gpio indicating if it's connected to the 
"LandingShip" but that doesn't seem to be the case after looking through the 
schematics again.

In any case, going the regular way should be ok as well.

Compatible should probably move here.

maybe also rk3368-geekbox-som.dtsi like the rk3288-rock2-som.dtsi. That way 
it would show clearly its status as system on module which then gets used 
somewhere.

And as said above, the compatible should probably live in the dts, not the 
dtsi (see rock2).

I'm fine with going the always-on/boot-on way at first. Sorting which 
regulators can actually be disabled can also be done later - especially as 
some components still don't do regulator-handling.

Because the r88 board doesn't actually have a pmic ;-) . Just a bunch of 
individual (and mostly always-on) regulators on the board - thankfully I 
have schematics for it.

I'd hope so.
