Doing so with over-write regmap with regulators_regmap. You said you only needed one? "I need to pass only one regmap out of the two, but i am not able to retrieve" > In qcom-pm8008-regulator.c I tried to get the regmap using > > dev_get_regmap(pdev->dev.parent, "regulators"); I haven't looked at this API before. I suggest that this would be used *instead* of passing the regmap pointer via driver_data. It looks like you're using different devices to init your regmaps; 'client' and 'regulator_client' (derived from client->adapter). "regulators" is registered using regulators_regmap which was *not* init'ed with pdev->dev.parent (same as client->dev), so trying to dev_get_regmap() with that device pointer will not work. -- Lee Jones [李琼斯] Principal Technical Lead - Developer Services Linaro.org │ Open source software for Arm SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
