Subject: regulator: adding enable control to fixed regulator interface
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:20:24 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b90c0690907300520t1dfbd722j73417b1beb6992bc@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
hi Mark,
I have the following use-case scenario for a fixed voltage regulator.
Supply ----->| Regulator |-------> Peripheral
^ EN
|
GPIO -------------
The regulator's enable pin is controlled by a GPIO of the CPU.
What is the best way to implement this within the regulator framework?
Writing a regulator driver is one solution but I'm sure there must be
many instances like this and writing a driver for each case is not
that nice.
I want to use the fixed regulator driver but this does not have
regulator enable/disable control.
Isn't it a good idea to have enable/disable control for the current
implementation of the fixed voltage regulator i.e. drivers/regulator/fixed.c ?
The regulator enabling/disabling functionality can be implemented by
platform code and the required function pointers could be passed through
fixed_voltage_config structure.
If this looks OK, I can send you a patch to implement this functionality.
cheers,
-roger
