What:		/sys/class/regulator/.../state
Date:		April 2008
KernelVersion:	2.6.26
Contact:	Liam Girdwood <lg@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>
Description:
		Each regulator directory will contain a field called
		state. This holds the regulator output state.

		This will be one of the following strings:

		'enabled'
		'disabled'
		'unknown'

		'enabled' means the regulator output is ON and is supplying
		power to the system.

		'disabled' means the regulator output is OFF and is not
		supplying power to the system..

		'unknown' means software cannot determine the state.

		NOTE: this field can be used in conjunction with microvolts
		and microamps to determine regulator output levels.

Description:
		Each regulator directory will contain a field called
		type. This holds the regulator type.

		This will be one of the following strings:

		'voltage'

		by software.

		controlled by software.

		'unknown' means software cannot control either voltage or
		current limit.
