Sure, will do!

I think there is an error in the implementation of
max77686_set_buck_mode(..., buck #, OPMODE_OFF), or I have some gap in
my understanding of it. I believe that when you set OPMODE_OFF it
should turn it OFF right? as in no voltage? This does not seem to be
the case.
I have to turn the power off and then on, on BUCK8 (LAN9730 feeds off
of it), to reset the LAN when a usb reset is issued, else it will not
be detected again when usb start is re-issued.
Initially, I had max77686_set_buck_mode(p_pmic, 9, OPMODE_OFF); delay;
max77686(set_buck_mode(p_pmic, 9, OPMODE_ON); but it did not power
recycle the LAN9730 chip.
I do not have access to the MAX77686 data sheets to debug this. Hence,
in my current code I set the voltage to the lowest possible value, and
then bring it back up to 3.3V to simulate a reset. In fact, I can
remove the OPMODE_OFF and OPMODE_ON code, and it works.
Please let me know if there is any change needed in the OPMODE_OFF
code for it to work the way it should, or correct my understanding of
what it is supposed to do.

Currently, I am thinking of just having:
                max77686_set_buck_voltage(p_pmic, 8, 750000);
                max77686_set_buck_voltage(p_pmic, 8, 3300000);
and leave the OPMODE_OFF and OPMODE_ON out of it.

Yes.

OK!
