Hi Dennis,
The schematic says that this regulator supplies the VBUS voltage for
the USB3 part of your Type-A OTG connector. If you make it always-on,
you'll likely lose the possibility to use this port in device mode
(which you would need e.g. for flashing images over a USB cable in
U-boot which also takes device tree sources from Linux via
devicetree-rebasing).
You also link it up as the PHY supply of the USB2 controller, which
doesn't describe the actual hardware.
Please see if you'd rather define a connector node for your Type-A
port, and list this regulator as its VBUS supply explicitly. I've
recently submitted a patch [1] to make the "onboard_usb_dev" driver
take care of enabling VBUS in exactly this type of situations (it's in
usb-testing now and will hopefully hit -next sometime soon). If you
need an example for its use, please refer to [2].
Best regards,
Alexey
