0527100fd1 regulator: Pass regulator init data as explict argument when registering
Rather than having the regulator init data read from the platform_data
member of the struct device that is registered for the regulator make
the init data an explict argument passed in when registering. This
allows drivers to use the platform data for their own purposes if they
wish.

oh, it's for the string sharing.  Sneaky.

853116a105 regulator: add get_status()
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.

This workaround was needed when regulator/ was not linked before both

5dbdf73548 move wm8400-regulator's probe function to .devinit.text
A pointer to wm8400_regulator_probe is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded.  Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.

An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

7ad68e2f97 regulator: sysfs attribute reduction (v2)
Clean up the sysfs interface to regulators by only exposing the
attributes that can be properly displayed.  For example: when a
particular regulator method is needed to display the value, only
create that attribute when that method exists.

This cleaned-up interface is much more comprehensible.  Most
regulators only support a subset of the possible methods, so
often more than half the attributes would be meaningless.  Many
"not defined" values are no longer necessary.  (But handling
of out-of-range values still looks a bit iffy.)

Documentation is updated to reflect that few of the attributes
are *always* present, and to briefly explain why a regulator may
not have a given attribute.

This adds object code, about a dozen bytes more than was removed
by the preceding patch, but saves a bunch of per-regulator data
associated with the now-removed attributes.  So there's a net
reduction in memory footprint.

e573520b17 regulator: improved mode error checks
Minor bugfixes in handling of regulator modes:

 - have the routine verifying regulator modes check against
   the set of legal modes (!);

 - have regulator_set_optimum_mode() verify the return value
   of regulator_ops.get_optimum_mode(), like drms_uA_update();

 - one call to regulator_ops.set_mode() treated zero as a
   failure code; make this consistent with other callers.

Both regulator_set_mode() and regulator_set_optimum_mode() now
require valid_ops_mask to include REGULATOR_CHANGE_MODE; that
seems like a bugfix too.

412aec6105 regulator: enable/disable refcounting
Make the <linux/regulator.h> framework treat enable/disable call
pairs like the <linux/clk.h> and <linux/interrupt.h> frameworks do:
they're refcounted, so that different parts of a driver don't need
to put work into coordination that frameworks normally handle.
It's a minor object code shrink.

It also makes the regulator_is_disabled() kerneldoc say what it's
actually returning:  return value is not a refcount, and may report
an error (e.g. I/O error from I2C).

It also fixes some minor regulator_put() goofage:  removing unlocked
access to the enable state.  (But still not making regulator put/get
match the refcounting pattern they invoke.)

812460a927 regulator: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()
This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".

To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.

We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.

We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.

Thanks,
Kay

0081e8020e leds: Add WM8350 LED driver
The voltage and current regulators on the WM8350 AudioPlus PMIC can be
used in concert to provide a power efficient LED driver.  This driver
implements support for this within the standard LED class.

Platform initialisation code should configure the LED hardware in the
init callback provided by the WM8350 core driver.  The callback should
use wm8350_isink_set_flash(), wm8350_dcdc25_set_mode() and
wm8350_dcdc_set_slot() to configure the operating parameters of the
regulators for their hardware and then then use wm8350_register_led() to
instantiate the LED driver.

This driver was originally written by Liam Girdwood, though it has been
extensively modified since then.

a5766f11cf regulator: core - Rework machine API to remove string based functions.
This improves the machine level API in order to configure
regulator constraints and consumers as platform data and removes the
old string based API that required several calls to set up each regulator.

The intention is to create a struct regulator_init_data, populate
it's fields with constraints, consumers devices, etc and then register
the regulator device from board.c in the standard Linux way.

e.g. regulator LDO2 (supplying codec and sim) platform data.

/* regulator LDO2 consumer devices */
static struct regulator_consumer_supply ldo2_consumers[] = {
{
	.dev	= &platform_audio_device.dev,
	.supply	= "codec_avdd",
},
{
	.dev	= &platform_sim_device.dev,
	.supply	= "sim_vcc",
}
};

/* regulator LDO2 constraints  */
static struct regulator_init_data ldo2_data = {
	.constraints = {
		.min_uV = 3300000,
		.max_uV = 3300000,
		.valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL,
		.apply_uV = 1,
	},
	.num_consumer_supplies = ARRAY_SIZE(ldo2_consumers),
	.consumer_supplies = ldo2_consumers,
};

/* machine regulator devices with thier consumers and constraints */
static struct platform_device wm8350_regulator_devices[] = {
{
	.name = "wm8350-regulator",
	.id = WM8350_LDO_2,
	.dev = {
		.platform_data = &ldo2_data,
	},
},
};

Changes in detail:-

  o Removed all const char* regulator config functions in machine API.
  o Created new struct regulator_init_data to contain regulator
    machine configuration constraints and consmuers.
  o Changed set_supply(), set_machine_constraints(),
    set_consumer_device_supply() to remove their string identifier
    parameters. Also made them static and moved functions nearer top of
    core.c.
  o Removed no longer used inline func to_rdev()
  o Added regulator_get_init_drvdata() to retrieve init data.
  o Added struct device* as parameter to regulator_register().
  o Changed my email address.

4b74ff6512 regulator: add support for fixed regulators.
This adds supports for regulator that are not software controlable. It allows
them to coexist in systems with mixed supplies.

414c70cb91 regulator: regulator framework core
This adds the regulator framework core.

This framework is designed to provide a generic interface to voltage
and current regulators within the Linux kernel. It's intended to
provide voltage and current control to client or consumer drivers and
also provide status information to user space applications through a
sysfs interface.

The intention is to allow systems to dynamically control regulator
output in order to save power and prolong battery life. This applies
to both voltage regulators (where voltage output is controllable) and
current sinks (where current output is controllable).

This framework safely compiles out if not selected so that client
drivers can still be used in systems with no software controllable
regulators.
