+Voltage/Current Regulators
+
+Optional properties:
+- regulator-name: A string used as a descriptive name for regulator outputs
+- regulator-min-microvolt: smallest voltage consumers may set
+- regulator-max-microvolt: largest voltage consumers may set
+- regulator-microvolt-offset: Offset applied to voltages to compensate for voltage drops
+- regulator-min-microamp: smallest current consumers may set
+- regulator-max-microamp: largest current consumers may set
+- regulator-always-on: boolean, regulator should never be disabled
+- regulator-boot-on: bootloader/firmware enabled regulator
+- regulator-allow-bypass: allow the regulator to go into bypass mode
+- <name>-supply: phandle to the parent supply/regulator node
+- regulator-ramp-delay: ramp delay for regulator(in uV/uS)
+ For hardware which supports disabling ramp rate, it should be explicitly
+ intialised to zero (regulator-ramp-delay = <0>) for disabling ramp delay.
+- regulator-enable-ramp-delay: The time taken, in microseconds, for the supply
+ rail to reach the target voltage, plus/minus whatever tolerance the board
+ design requires. This property describes the total system ramp time
+ required due to the combination of internal ramping of the regulator itself,
+ and board design issues such as trace capacitance and load on the supply.
+- regulator-state-mem sub-root node for Suspend-to-RAM mode
+ : suspend to memory, the device goes to sleep, but all data stored in memory,
+ only some external interrupt can wake the device.
+- regulator-state-disk sub-root node for Suspend-to-DISK mode
+ : suspend to disk, this state operates similarly to Suspend-to-RAM,
+ but includes a final step of writing memory contents to disk.
+- regulator-state-[mem/disk] node has following common properties:
+ - regulator-on-in-suspend: regulator should be on in suspend state.
+ - regulator-off-in-suspend: regulator should be off in suspend state.
+ - regulator-suspend-microvolt: regulator should be set to this voltage
+ in suspend.
+ - regulator-mode: operating mode in the given suspend state.
+ The set of possible operating modes depends on the capabilities of
+ every hardware so the valid modes are documented on each regulator
+ device tree binding document.
+- regulator-initial-mode: initial operating mode. The set of possible operating
+ modes depends on the capabilities of every hardware so each device binding
+ documentation explains which values the regulator supports.
+
+Deprecated properties:
+- regulator-compatible: If a regulator chip contains multiple
+ regulators, and if the chip's binding contains a child node that
+ describes each regulator, then this property indicates which regulator
+ this child node is intended to configure. If this property is missing,
+ the node's name will be used instead.
+
+Example:
+
+ xyzreg: regulator@0 {
+ regulator-min-microvolt = <1000000>;
+ regulator-max-microvolt = <2500000>;
+ regulator-always-on;
+ vin-supply = <&vin>;
+
+ regulator-state-mem {
+ regulator-on-in-suspend;
+ };
+ };
+
+Regulator Consumers:
+Consumer nodes can reference one or more of its supplies/
+regulators using the below bindings.
+
+- <name>-supply: phandle to the regulator node
+
+These are the same bindings that a regulator in the above
+example used to reference its own supply, in which case
+its just seen as a special case of a regulator being a
+consumer itself.
+
+Example of a consumer device node (mmc) referencing two
+regulators (twl_reg1 and twl_reg2),
+
+ twl_reg1: regulator@0 {
+ ...
+ ...
+ ...
+ };
+
+ twl_reg2: regulator@1 {
+ ...
+ ...
+ ...
+ };
+
+ mmc: mmc@0x0 {
+ ...
+ ...
+ vmmc-supply = <&twl_reg1>;
+ vmmcaux-supply = <&twl_reg2>;
+ };
