1 Voltage/Current regulator
2
3 Binding:
4 The regulator devices don't use the "compatible" property. The binding is done
5 by the prefix of regulator node's name. Usually the pmic I/O driver will provide
6 the array of 'struct pmic_child_info' with the prefixes and compatible drivers.
7 The bind is done by calling function: pmic_bind_childs().
8 Example drivers:
9 pmic: drivers/power/pmic/max77686.c
10 regulator: drivers/power/regulator/max77686.c
11
12 For the node name e.g.: "prefix[:alpha:]num { ... }":
13 - the driver prefix should be: "prefix" or "PREFIX" - case insensitive
14 - the node name's "num" is set as "dev->driver_data" on bind
15
16 Example the prefix "ldo" will pass for: "ldo1", "ldo@1", "LDO1", "LDOREG@1"...
17
18 Required properties:
19 - regulator-name: a string, required by the regulator uclass
20
21 Note
22 The "regulator-name" constraint is used for setting the device's uclass
23 platform data '.name' field. And the regulator device name is set from
24 it's node name.
25
26 Optional properties:
27 - regulator-min-microvolt: a minimum allowed Voltage value
28 - regulator-max-microvolt: a maximum allowed Voltage value
29 - regulator-min-microamp: a minimum allowed Current value
30 - regulator-max-microamp: a maximum allowed Current value
31 - regulator-always-on: regulator should never be disabled
32 - regulator-boot-on: enabled by bootloader/firmware
33
34 Other kernel-style properties, are currently not used.
35
36 Note:
37 For the regulator autoset from constraints, the framework expects that:
38 - regulator-min-microvolt is equal to regulator-max-microvolt
39 - regulator-min-microamp is equal to regulator-max-microamp
40 - regulator-always-on or regulator-boot-on is set
41
42 Example:
43 ldo0 {
44         /* Mandatory */
45         regulator-name = "VDDQ_EMMC_1.8V";
46
47         /* Optional */
48         regulator-min-microvolt = <1800000>;
49         regulator-max-microvolt = <1800000>;
50         regulator-min-microamp = <100000>;
51         regulator-max-microamp = <100000>;
52         regulator-always-on;
53         regulator-boot-on;
54 };
