Modifying the voltage setting for one of the voltage regulators in the PMIC entry in the device tree causes the boot up to fail.

hi,

we are going to use the STPMIC1E in our design but bc the part is not available we are going to use the STPMIC1B for the initial boards we produce and then change to the desired part.

however, the buck4 regulator needs to be changed to 1.2 volts from 3.3 volts. we want to change the device tree's entry for the pmic so that the buck4 regulator is configured for 1.2 volts.

we are using the eval board 1 while we wait for the boards to be built. we changed the buck4's setting from 3.3 volts to 3.29 volts. but this caused problems when the board was booting up as can be seen from the uboot log below (the errors are in bold):

what we would like to know is how to change the settings for the pmic's voltage regulators so that the board is able to boot up w/ new voltages. it seems that there are other dependencies elsewhere in the linux kernel that require changes. we would like to know what those are so that we can make these changes for our custom board.

thanks,

vince
