[PATCH v3] regulator: gpio: Honor regulator-boot-on property

[PATCH v3] regulator: gpio: Honor regulator-boot-on property

[Chen-Yu Tsai]

From: Chen-Yu Tsai <wens@csie.org>

When requesting the enable GPIO, the driver should do so with the
correct output level matching some expected state. This is especially
important if the regulator is a critical one, such as a supply for
the boot CPU. This is currently done by checking for the enable-at-boot
property, but this is not documented in the device tree binding, nor
does it match the common regulator properties.

Honor the common regulator-boot-on property by checking the boot_on
constraint setting within the DT probe path. This is the same as what
is done in the fixed regulator driver.

Also add a comment stating that the enable-at-boot property should not
be used.

      commit: 3acff11cef1dece31cd29956f19181895996a7c5

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
