Felipe,

Thank you for your reply.

It comes with one of three different power supplies (24 - 250VDC, 120
- 240VAC, 12VDC input) all of which ultimately supply a fixed 5V and
3.3V.

It's actually fixed (not from TP65910).

I'll make sure this is correct and include any required changes in the
next version of the patch series.

I'm assuming that means you're okay with this (if not please elaborate
on how to improve it).

I think we may actually be able to turn this one and possibly two
others off, I will investigate.

I've come up with names for all of the regulators being used and will
include the changes in the next version of the patch series.

no, it's actually being used for the USB PHY. As I said above I will
name all regulators being used.

We may need them at some point, I'd like to keep them enabled.

I mentioned in the commit message that there is a micro SD slot.
