      regulator: Add DT support for regulator-output connectors · 3078d0c3
      Mark Brown authored
      Merge series from Zev Weiss <zev@bewilderbeest.net>:
      
      This series adds support for userspace-controlled regulator-supplied
      power outputs [2].  This is an important feature for some kinds of BMC
      (baseboard management controller) systems where the BMC provides an
      operator with manual control of a set of DC power outputs.
      
      As in a broadly similar patchset that was recently almost merged [0],
      this takes the approach of providing support by extending the existing
      userspace-consumer regulator driver.  A couple questions about the
      userspace-consumer driver came up along the way, however.
      
      First, how (if at all) is it currently being used?  It appears the
      last in-tree use of it was removed a bit over two years ago in commit
      9d323914 ("ARM: pxa: remove Compulab pxa2xx boards").  Aside from
      just adding DT support I've made a couple small tweaks to the driver
      in patch 3 that I hope are compatible with any current usage, but
      without any extant examples to look at it's kind of hard to say.
      
      Second, how critical is its support for controlling multiple
      regulators?  (i.e. its use of regulator_bulk_data and friends instead
      of a single struct regulator.)  As far as I can see every in-tree use
      of it that's ever existed has used num_supplies = 1.  If it's not
      important to retain, patch 1 of this series could be supplanted by one
      that instead simplifies the driver slightly by removing that
      functionality.
      
      The DT binding added in patch 2 is essentially identical to one I
      posted in a previous patchset that had an R-B from Rob [1], but has
      had some minor rewording and been moved from the extcon subsystem to
      the regulator subsystem.
