"<name>-fixed-regulator" device tree property can be safely removed because
below things are fixed or resolved,
1. "<name>-max-microamp" becomes optional property: Undefined
"<name>-max-microamp" will not cause initialization fail if
"<name>-fixed-regulator" is not defined.
2. Current switching operation (by regulator_set_load) now has rules:
Regulators will have undefined current limit if "<name>-fixed-regulator"
is not defined. But this is safe because only regulator which has
configured current limit from "<name>-max-microamp" property is allowed
to change its load.
Although "<name>-fixed-regulator" is not used in any dt-bindings in tree,
this patch is still safe for regulators already defined
"<name>-fixed-regulator". To be more clear, if a regulator defined
"<name>-fixed-regulator" before, the behavior difference after this patch
is,
1. "<name>-max-microamp":
If a regulator defined "<name>-fixed-regulator", it is not necessary
to define "<name>-max-microamp" property in device tree and it is
expected to have an undefined current limit, i.e., "max_uA" field
is zero in struct ufs_vreg. This is exactly the same as patched.
2. "vcc-supply-1p8" or volatge range settings:
* For vcc, vccq or vccq2, these three regulators shall not define
"<name>-fixed-regulator" because defining it will lead to
undefined voltage range and thus voltage switching will be
unexpected.
* For other regulators with undefined voltage range, voltage range
will be still undefined after patched.
Therefore this patch is safe for all existed regulators with
"<name>-fixed-regulator" property already defined.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
