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-input-current-limit-microamp: maximum input current regulator allows
11- regulator-always-on: boolean, regulator should never be disabled
12- regulator-boot-on: bootloader/firmware enabled regulator
13- regulator-allow-bypass: allow the regulator to go into bypass mode
14- <name>-supply: phandle to the parent supply/regulator node
15- regulator-ramp-delay: ramp delay for regulator(in uV/uS)
16  For hardware which supports disabling ramp rate, it should be explicitly
17  initialised to zero (regulator-ramp-delay = <0>) for disabling ramp delay.
18- regulator-enable-ramp-delay: The time taken, in microseconds, for the supply
19  rail to reach the target voltage, plus/minus whatever tolerance the board
20  design requires. This property describes the total system ramp time
21  required due to the combination of internal ramping of the regulator itself,
22  and board design issues such as trace capacitance and load on the supply.
23- regulator-soft-start: Enable soft start so that voltage ramps slowly
24- regulator-state-mem sub-root node for Suspend-to-RAM mode
25  : suspend to memory, the device goes to sleep, but all data stored in memory,
26  only some external interrupt can wake the device.
27- regulator-state-disk sub-root node for Suspend-to-DISK mode
28  : suspend to disk, this state operates similarly to Suspend-to-RAM,
29  but includes a final step of writing memory contents to disk.
30- regulator-state-[mem/disk] node has following common properties:
31	- regulator-on-in-suspend: regulator should be on in suspend state.
32	- regulator-off-in-suspend: regulator should be off in suspend state.
33	- regulator-suspend-microvolt: regulator should be set to this voltage
34	  in suspend.
35	- regulator-mode: operating mode in the given suspend state.
36	  The set of possible operating modes depends on the capabilities of
37	  every hardware so the valid modes are documented on each regulator
38	  device tree binding document.
39- regulator-initial-mode: initial operating mode. The set of possible operating
40  modes depends on the capabilities of every hardware so each device binding
41  documentation explains which values the regulator supports.
42- regulator-system-load: Load in uA present on regulator that is not captured by
43  any consumer request.
44- regulator-pull-down: Enable pull down resistor when the regulator is disabled.
45- regulator-over-current-protection: Enable over current protection.
46
47Deprecated properties:
48- regulator-compatible: If a regulator chip contains multiple
49  regulators, and if the chip's binding contains a child node that
50  describes each regulator, then this property indicates which regulator
51  this child node is intended to configure. If this property is missing,
52  the node's name will be used instead.

54Example:
55
56	xyzreg: regulator@0 {
57		regulator-min-microvolt = <1000000>;
58		regulator-max-microvolt = <2500000>;
59		regulator-always-on;
60		vin-supply = <&vin>;
61
62		regulator-state-mem {
63			regulator-on-in-suspend;
64		};
65	};
66
67Regulator Consumers:
68Consumer nodes can reference one or more of its supplies/
69regulators using the below bindings.
70
71- <name>-supply: phandle to the regulator node
72
73These are the same bindings that a regulator in the above
74example used to reference its own supply, in which case
75its just seen as a special case of a regulator being a
76consumer itself.
77
78Example of a consumer device node (mmc) referencing two
79regulators (twl_reg1 and twl_reg2),
80
81	twl_reg1: regulator@0 {
82		...
83		...
84		...
85	};
86
87	twl_reg2: regulator@1 {
88		...
89		...
90		...
91	};
92
93	mmc: mmc@0x0 {
94		...
95		...
96		vmmc-supply = <&twl_reg1>;
97		vmmcaux-supply = <&twl_reg2>;
98	};
