Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 02/14] net: phy: qcom: qca808x: Add regulator management

From: Daniel Thompson <[email-masked]>

QCA8081 appears in embedded board designs paired with GPIO controlled
regulators for its power rails. Add logic to allow these regulators to
be turned on during a probe.

In order to avoid the complexity of tracking state for suspend with and
without WoL we take a tremendously simple "always-on" approach to
regulator management, essentially relying on BMCR_PDOWN to conserve
power when the phy device exists.
