1Voltage/Current Regulators
2
3Optional properties:
4- regulator-name: A string used as a descriptive name for regulator outputs
5- regulator-min-microvolt: smallest voltage consumers may set
6- regulator-max-microvolt: largest voltage consumers may set
7- regulator-microvolt-offset: Offset applied to voltages to compensate for voltage drops
8- regulator-min-microamp: smallest current consumers may set
9- regulator-max-microamp: largest current consumers may set
10- regulator-always-on: boolean, regulator should never be disabled
11- regulator-boot-on: bootloader/firmware enabled regulator
12- regulator-allow-bypass: allow the regulator to go into bypass mode
13- <name>-supply: phandle to the parent supply/regulator node
14- regulator-ramp-delay: ramp delay for regulator(in uV/uS)
15  For hardware which supports disabling ramp rate, it should be explicitly
16  intialised to zero (regulator-ramp-delay = <0>) for disabling ramp delay.
17- regulator-enable-ramp-delay: The time taken, in microseconds, for the supply
18  rail to reach the target voltage, plus/minus whatever tolerance the board
19  design requires. This property describes the total system ramp time
20  required due to the combination of internal ramping of the regulator itself,
21  and board design issues such as trace capacitance and load on the supply.
22- regulator-state-mem sub-root node for Suspend-to-RAM mode
23  : suspend to memory, the device goes to sleep, but all data stored in memory,
24  only some external interrupt can wake the device.
25- regulator-state-disk sub-root node for Suspend-to-DISK mode
26  : suspend to disk, this state operates similarly to Suspend-to-RAM,
27  but includes a final step of writing memory contents to disk.
28- regulator-state-[mem/disk] node has following common properties:
29	- regulator-on-in-suspend: regulator should be on in suspend state.
30	- regulator-off-in-suspend: regulator should be off in suspend state.
31	- regulator-suspend-microvolt: regulator should be set to this voltage
32	  in suspend.
33	- regulator-mode: operating mode in the given suspend state.
34	  The set of possible operating modes depends on the capabilities of
35	  every hardware so the valid modes are documented on each regulator
36	  device tree binding document.
37- regulator-initial-mode: initial operating mode. The set of possible operating
38  modes depends on the capabilities of every hardware so each device binding
39  documentation explains which values the regulator supports.

41Deprecated properties:
42- regulator-compatible: If a regulator chip contains multiple
43  regulators, and if the chip's binding contains a child node that
44  describes each regulator, then this property indicates which regulator
45  this child node is intended to configure. If this property is missing,
46  the node's name will be used instead.

48Example:
49
50	xyzreg: regulator@0 {
51		regulator-min-microvolt = <1000000>;
52		regulator-max-microvolt = <2500000>;
53		regulator-always-on;
54		vin-supply = <&vin>;
55
56		regulator-state-mem {
57			regulator-on-in-suspend;
58		};
59	};

61Regulator Consumers:
62Consumer nodes can reference one or more of its supplies/
63regulators using the below bindings.
64
65- <name>-supply: phandle to the regulator node
66
67These are the same bindings that a regulator in the above
68example used to reference its own supply, in which case
69its just seen as a special case of a regulator being a
70consumer itself.
71
72Example of a consumer device node (mmc) referencing two
73regulators (twl_reg1 and twl_reg2),
74
75	twl_reg1: regulator@0 {
76		...
77		...
78		...
79	};
80
81	twl_reg2: regulator@1 {
82		...
83		...
84		...
85	};
86
87	mmc: mmc@0x0 {
88		...
89		...
90		vmmc-supply = <&twl_reg1>;
91		vmmcaux-supply = <&twl_reg2>;
92	};
