Well, mfd_core.c seems to call regulator_bulk_register_supply_alias() with device that does not have dev_name initialized.
OK, that'll be the problem then - we're not mapping the supply into the individual child device but rather system wide, probably because that mapping is being done too early, before we've actually created the device.
Take a look at mfd_add_device(). Yes, we do regulator_bulk_register_supply_alias() before doing platform_device_add().
regulator_bulk_register_supply_alias() results in "Adding alias" stuff, and then drivers/regulator/arizona-micsupp.c tries to register another "MICVDD".
That's fine because all supplies should be namespaced with a device. The goal is to say "Supply X on device Y" (we do support exceptions for the few cases where there are not yet any devices involved but this clearly isn't one of them).
Indeed that should be the case.
Well, clearly someone should tell that to wm5102 maintainers. Hmm. It looks like driver is marked supported but there are no names attached?

I guess Charles Keepax should be listed there?
The patches mailing list functions as maintainer here. That way anyone who works on upstream Linux stuff here will see the email so you have more chance of someone replying. Also convient for when people leave the company etc. makes for an easy transition. I am afraid though that as in this case you are not always going to get a reply over the weekend.
Well.. maintainer is a responsible person. Yes, you can list a mailing list in maintainers file.. but mailing list is not going to be responsible for that.
Having a real name of person helps; if your name was listed there, I'd know you (are supposed to be) authoritative person for this.
I see it will need to be updated from time to time, but having name really helps.
A Mailing List is perfectly adequate for drivers which reside in a maintained subsystem. No requirement to submit names, particularly if there are lots of authorities personnel or if the personalities change regularly.
That's what I'm saying. It is good to know who is the person of authority, as you can't tell from the From: address. Pavel
