Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: regulator: BD71847 support commonly used feedback connection
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2020 10:19:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9b6b3d8233071d478f7d1e93b498f5a2141941e6.1604994184.git.matti.vaittinen@fi.rohmeurope.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1604994184.git.matti.vaittinen@fi.rohmeurope.com>
The BD71847 buck output voltages are in a few cases scaled using external
connection which adds a pull-up to regulator feedback pin. This connection
will adjust output voltage from regulator in a deterministic way.
Add support for describing this HW connection so that driver can adjust
voltage ranges accordingly.

+ # Vout_o = Vo - (Vpu - Vo)*R2/R1
