    regulator: bd718x7: remove voltage change restriction from BD71847 · f0ca7b24
    Matti Vaittinen authored
    The BD71837 had a HW "feature" where changing the regulator output
    voltages of other regulators but bucks 1-4 might cause spikes if
    regulators were enabled. Thus SW prohibit voltage changes for other
    regulators except for bucks 1-4 when regulator is enabled.
    
    The HW colleagues did inadvertly fix this issue for BD71847 and
    BD71850. Remove voltage change restrictions from other PMICs but
    BD71837.
    
    The LDO voltage changing is still restricted. I did not yet receive
    answer whether there is voltage spikes to be expected for LDOs. I
    only know that the power-good detection for LDOs can cause false
    alarms if LDO voltage is changed when LDO is enabled. We might be
    able to work-around this by disabling the power-good monioring for
    the duration of the LDO voltage change - but as I said, I don't
    know yet. Let's fix it later if we can confirm that also LDO voltage
    changes are safe.
