The only sense is that is connected with
vdd_log: vdd-log {
compatible = "pwm-regulator";
pwms = <&pwm2 0 25000 1>;
regulator-name = "vdd_log";
regulator-min-microvolt = <800000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <1100000>;
regulator-always-on;
regulator-boot-on;

/* for rockchip boot on */
rockchip,pwm_id= <2>;
rockchip,pwm_voltage = <1000000>;
};

I don't know how this in mailine is mapped
