From 853116a10544206b6b2cf42ebc9d78fba2668888 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Brownell Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 23:03:17 -0800 Subject: 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.
