Hi Marco,
We have multiple amplifiers hooked up in a chain, and all the PLLens
are connected to one GPIO. So we need to use a regulator so that
i2c-TDA7802:00 doesn't turn off the PLLen which i2c-TDA7802:01 still
requires.

This is why we use a regulator. Is there GPIO support for this?

Thanks,
Thomas

If it's a GPIO not a regulator then it should be a GPIO not a regulator
in the device tree. The device tree describes the hardware. There was
some work on helping share GPIOs in the GPIO framework to accomodate
GPIOs for regulator enables, you should be able to do something similar
to what the regulator framework does.
