Well, mfd_core.c seems to call regulator_bulk_register_supply_alias()
with device that does not have dev_name initialized.

I can do this (patch below), but I'm not quite sure it is the right
thing. (This is v4.2 based).

The debug output is then this:

It seems there are more "MICVDD"s then I assumed. 

regulator_bulk_register_supply_alias() results in "Adding alias"
stuff, and then drivers/regulator/arizona-micsupp.c tries to register
another "MICVDD".

And now we have

sound/soc/codecs/wm5102.c, around line 1093:

That is the regulator<->alsa interface I'm talking about. But as you
may recall, I have 2 arizona chips here, so two wm5102.c instances,
and I believe this means that "MICVDD" is not suitable here, and we
want something like "MICVDD,spi32766.2" here.

But a) code does not seem to be quite ready for that, and b) you said
you disliked that approach.

Well, the code is pretty close to the black box for me :-(.

I have hardware with two arizona chips, apparently code is not quite
ready for that. I got it to somehow work with some rather ugly hacks,
and I don't see a clear way to non-hacky version.

(For the reference, patch is attached, but it is rather ugly at places.)

Ok, good. I don't understand how the things are expected to fit
together. See above. I believe SND_SOC_ macros should have another
argument "device", or maybe regulator names should have "device" name
embedded in them.
