This driver is using regulator_get_optional() to handle all the supplies that it handles, and only ever enables and disables all supplies en masse without ever doing any other configuration of the device to handle missing power. These are clear signs that the API is being misused - it should only be used for supplies that may be physically absent from the system and in these cases the hardware usually needs different configuration if the supply is missing. Instead use normal regualtor_get(), if the supply is not described in DT then the framework will substitute a dummy regulator in so no special handling is needed by the consumer driver. In the case of the PHY regulator the handling in the driver is a hack to deal with integrated PHYs; the supplies are only optional in the sense that that there's some confusion in the code about where they're bound to. From a code point of view they function exactly as normal supplies so can be treated as such. It'd probably be better to model this by instantiating a PHY object for integrated PHYs.

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.
