Re: [PATCH v2] ASoC: codecs: wcd937x: Add conditional regulator control for wcd937x

[Karthik S]

Hi @Mark ,

On the indus mezz skew, The codec rails are distributed through fixed 
Vdd (3.3V supply). These rails are Board‑controlled , not switched by 
the codec and not power‑cycled dynamically. There is no per‑codec 
enable/disable control exposed to software.The codec is wired to rails 
that are always powered when the board is powered. Hence this justifies 
it being handled as a board dt property.
