Hello Marek,

Does this mean that you're going to allow to violate the coupling
constraints while coupled regulator has no consumers?

I don't think that you may want to skip the coupled balancing ever.
Instead you may want to assume that the min-voltage constraint equals to
the current regulator's voltage while the coupled regulator has no
consumers.

Yours variant of the balancer doesn't prevent the voltage dropping on
regulator's enabling while coupled regulator doesn't have active
consumers. This is the problem which we previously had once OPP code was
changed to enable regulator.

Secondly, yours variant of the balancer also doesn't handle the case
where set_voltage() is invoked while one of the couples doesn't have
active consumers because voltage of this couple may drop more than
allowed on the voltage re-balancing.

I'd suggest to simply change the regulator_get_optimal_voltage() to
limit the desired_min_uV to the current voltage if coupled regulator has
no consumers.

I don't think that any of the today's upstream kernel coupled-regulator
users really need to support the case where a regulator couple is
allowed *not* to have active consumers, so for now it should be fine to
change the core code to accommodate the needs of the Exynos regulators
(IMO). We may get back to this later on once there will be a real need
support that case.

Please also note that I'm assuming that each of the coupled regulators
doesn't have more than one consumer at a time in yours case (correct?),
because yours solution won't work well in a case of multiple consumers.
There is no universal solution for this bootstrapping problem yet.
