[RFC] regulator: core: Support for continuous voltage range

[RFC] regulator: core: Support for continuous voltage range

[Pawel Moll]

Some regulators can set any voltage within the constraints range,
not being limited to specified operating points.

This patch makes it possible to describe such regulator and makes
the regulator_is_supported_voltage() function behave correctly.

Hi Mark,

This is roughly what we discussed last week. Alternatively, it could be
also a "universal" unsigned regulator_desc.flags field with #define
REGULATOR_FLAG_CONTINUOUS_VOLTAGE_RAGE 0x1.

Regards

Pawel

[PATCH v3] regulator: Versatile Express regulator driver

[Pawel Moll]

Implementation of the regulator framework driver for the
Versatile Express voltage control. Devices without
voltage constraints (ie. "regulator-[min|max]-microvolt"
properties in the DT node) are treated as fixed (or rather
read-only) regulators.

Hi Mark,

This is an updated version of the VE driver, depending on the continuous
voltage range change instead of the linear mapping. I've also added the
DT node documentation.

+Versatile Express voltage regulators

+Requires node properties:
+- "compatible" value: "arm,vexpress-volt"
+- "arm,vexpress-sysreg,func" when controlled via vexpress-sysreg
+  (see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/vexpress-sysreg.txt
+  for more details)
+
+Required regulator properties:
+- "regulator-name"
+- "regulator-always-on"
+
+Optional regulator properties:
+- "regulator-min-microvolt"
+- "regulator-max-microvolt"
+
+See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/regulator.txt
+for more details about the regulator properties.
+
+When no "regulator-[min|max]-microvolt" properties are defined,
+the device is treated as fixed (or rather "read-only") regulator.
+
+Example:
+	volt@0 {
+		compatible = "arm,vexpress-volt";
+		arm,vexpress-sysreg,func = <2 0>;
+		regulator-name = "Cores";
+		regulator-min-microvolt = <800000>;
