Hi Axel,
The TPS6586X_SLEW_RATE_SET is not related with hardware register.
It was used to make sure that the slew rate won't be changed by accident.
Thanks,
Danny

Hi Mike,
While looking at the datasheet (tps65860 and tps65862),
I don't understand why we have TPS6586X_SLEW_RATE_SET (0x08) in the code.
According to the datasheet, BIT3 of SM1SL/SM0SL is not used:
SM1SL [Addr 0x25]
SM0SL [Addr 0x28]
BIT[2:0] SM0/SM1 SUPPLY RAMP RATE
BIT[7:3] NOT USED
So why we need to check the "unused bit" in tps6586x_regulator_set_slew_rate()?
if (!(setting->slew_rate & TPS6586X_SLEW_RATE_SET))
return 0;
Regards,
Axel
