This pin can be assigned to all regulators so it is shared across them
also it can be used as voltage-selection gpio by regulator and as
enable signal by an other regulator. I mentioned that within the
dt-bindings and also mentioned that the config has to be the same.

Okay, I will add it.

Thanks for the review.
