For a bunch of rails we really don't do anything with them in Linux. These are things like modem voltage rails that the modem manages these itself and core rails (like IO rails) that are setup to just automagically do the right thing by the firmware. Let's stop even listing those rails in our device tree. The net result of this is that some of these rails might be able to go down to a lower voltage or perhaps transition to LPM (low power mode) sometimes. Here's a list of what we're doing and why: * L1A - only goes to SoC and doesn't seem associated with any particular peripheral. Kernel isn't doing anything with this. Removing from dts. NET IMPACT: rail might drop from 1.2V to 1.178V and switch to LPM in some cases depending on firmware. * L2A - only goes to SoC and doesn't seem associated with any particular peripheral. Kernel isn't doing anything with this. Removing from dts. NET IMPACT: rail might switch to LPM in some cases depending on firmware. * L3A - only goes to SoC and doesn't seem associated with any particular peripheral. Kernel isn't doing anything with this. Removing from dts. NET IMPACT: rail might switch to LPM in some cases depending on firmware. * L5A - seems to be totally unused as far as I can tell and doesn't even come off QSIP. Removing from dts. * L6A - only goes to SoC and doesn't seem associated with any particular peripheral (I think?). Kernel isn't doing anything with this. Removing from dts. NET IMPACT: rail might switch to LPM in some cases depending on firmware. * L16A - Looks like this is only used for internal RF stuff. Removing from dts. NET IMPACT: rail might switch to LPM in some cases depending on firmware. * L1C - Just goes to WiFi / Bluetooth. Trust how IDP has this set and put this back at 1.616V min. * L4C - This goes out to the eSIM among other places. This looks like it's intended to be for SIM card and modem manages. NET IMPACT: rail might switch to LPM in some cases depending on firmware. * L5C - This goes to the physical SIM. This looks like it's intended to be for SIM card and modem manages. NET IMPACT: rail might drop from 1.8V to 1.648V and switch to LPM in some cases depending on firmware. NOTE: in general for anything which is supposed to be managed by Linux I still left it all forced to HPM since I'm not 100% sure that all the needed calls to regulator_set_load() are in place and HPM is safer. Switching more things to LPM can happen in a future patch. ALSO NOTE: Power measurements showed no measurable difference after applying this patch, so perhaps it should be viewed more as a cleanup than any power savings.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
