+Subject: arm64: dts: amlogic: odroid-sm1/odroidhc: regulator-boot-on also for
+ u-boot
+
+- Same as https://lore.kernel.org/linux-amlogic/20260116-odroid-hc4-dts-v1-1-459b601cd5cf@linuxdev.slmail.me/ but for u-boot
+- u-boot ARCH_MESON uses OF_UPSTREAM; post-v2026.01 u-boot might eventually get this via dt-rebasing, but it might take a while
+- All credit to Eric for the find and fix
