In "[PATCH 3/4] drm/mediatek: add the mipitx driving control" [1], I see
that you actually control a register its name is MIPITX_VOLTAGE_SEL, so
I guess this control the voltage. If mipi_tx has the ability to control
the voltage, could we just treat mipi_tx as a regulator? For a
regulator, regulator-min-microvolt and regulator-max-microvolt would
limit the volt range and you could get it by
of_get_regulator_init_data(). If it actually control the current,
regulator-min-microamp and regulator-max-microamp could be used. I'm not
expert on this, so please give me more information on this.
