I would expect this to be GPIO controlled rather than fixed in
the design, at least for some systems? The name suggests it's
supposed to control the polarity of a GPIO too. Sadly we don't
really have good infrastructure for fixed GPIOs AFAIK... ideally
this would be a GPIO and then if we need to hold it high then
there would be some binding we could connect to the GPIO that
says that. We don't have that though so for now a fixed property
might be OK.

It's most like two phase buck controllers internally. 'Vsel' to
control which buck output.
Each phase has its registers (voltage/enable/mode).
The common usage of 'vsel' pin is to connect the pin by SoC suspend/resume pin.
This can be used to implement system low power design (like as system
awake 0.6V, sleep 0.3V or sleep buck off).
I haven't seen the usage to connect it directly by GPIO.

Subject: drop second/last, redundant "bindings for". The "dt-bindings"

Can we drop the marketing from kernel? Last part of sentence is not
related to this submission at all. The internal frequency also looks
unrelated to the topic...

So you always require two items? Thus I wonder what's the point of
having it in DT? To skip the property entirely if none of the modes are
allowed?

Okay, too much marketing text. I'll shorten it and simply describe the function or

Not always need two. So does it mean no need to describe the 'maxItems' and 'Items'.
Keep the description of 'regulator-allowed-modes' to tell the user what the valid value is.

I propose also to drop "document" - it is also redundant. Can bindings
be something else than document?

Your minItems is 2, so you always need two. If you accept one, the add
minItems: 1.

It seems no need to limit the maxItems. Regulator core will call 'of_map_mode' to check the value.
Even the value is repeat.

And for minItems, 'regulator.yaml' already said it's uint32-array. Must be lager than zero, right?

So how about just keep 'items' and remove the 'maxItems'?

Yeah, go ahead, with that enum, it should be correct..
