Based on previous LKML discussions: * Update docs for regulator sysfs class attributes to highlight the fact that all current attributes are intended to be control inputs, including notably "state" and "opmode" which previously implied otherwise. * Define a new regulator driver get_status() method, which is the first method reporting regulator outputs instead of inputs. It can report on/off and error status; or instead of simply "on", report the actual operating mode. For the moment, this is a sysfs-only interface, not accessible to regulator clients. Such clients can use the current notification interfaces to detect errors, if the regulator reports them.

Description:
|
|
Some regulator directories will contain a field called
|
|
state. This reports the regulator enable control, for
|
|
regulators which can report that input value.
|
|
|
|
This will be one of the following strings:
|
|
|
|
'enabled'
|
|
'disabled'
|
|
'unknown'
|
|
|
|
'enabled' means the regulator output is ON and is supplying
|
|
power to the system (assuming no error prevents it).
|
|
|
|
'disabled' means the regulator output is OFF and is not
|
|
supplying power to the system (unless some non-Linux
|
|
control has enabled it).
|
|
|
|
'unknown' means software cannot determine the state, or
|
|
the reported state is invalid.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this field can be used in conjunction with microvolts
|
|
or microamps to determine configured regulator output levels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What: /sys/class/regulator/.../status
|
|
Description:
|
|
Some regulator directories will contain a field called
|
|
"status". This reports the current regulator status, for
|
|
regulators which can report that output value.
|
|
|
|
This will be one of the following strings:
|
|
|
|
off
|
|
on
|
|
error
|
|
fast
|
|
normal
|
|
idle
|
|
standby
|
|
|
|
"off" means the regulator is not supplying power to the
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
"on" means the regulator is supplying power to the system,
|
|
and the regulator can't report a detailed operation mode.
|
|
|
|
"error" indicates an out-of-regulation status such as being
|
|
disabled due to thermal shutdown, or voltage being unstable
|
|
because of problems with the input power supply.
|
|
|
|
"fast", "normal", "idle", and "standby" are all detailed
|
|
regulator operation modes (described elsewhere). They
|
|
imply "on", but provide more detail.
|
|
|
|
Note that regulator status is a function of many inputs,
|
|
not limited to control inputs from Linux. For example,
|
|
the actual load presented may trigger "error" status; or
|
|
a regulator may be enabled by another user, even though
|
|
Linux did not enable it.
