Nope, it's SFI. Which basically means we have everything in board files.

Basically you mean we have not call regulator_has_full_constraints()?
In that case we have to provide stubs for all expected regulators, in
case of SDHCI one real and one dummy, who knows how many them in the
drivers, but for each we have to provide that. Am I right?

Here we have platform code. It might be possible to switch to DT for it,
with no firmware support, but I can consider it as a far away from now.
