[PATCH v1] regulator: Add driver for voltage controlled regulators

From: Matthias Kaehlcke
Date: Fri Feb 10 2017 - 15:44:50 EST


The output voltage of a voltage controlled regulator can be controlled
through the voltage of another regulator. The current version of this
driver assumes that the output voltage is a linear function of the control
voltage.

Note: The current version of the driver has a known limitation: If an
input supply is configured besides the control supply the two regulators
must have no common ancestor, otherwise the spinlock of the ancestor
would be acquired twice by the core code. One possible solution would be
to configure the control regulator through a string instead of a phandle,
i.e. not specifying it as supply.

+Bindings for Voltage controlled regulators
+==========================================
+
+Required properties:
+--------------------
+- compatible : must be "vctrl-regulator".
+- ctrl-supply: : a phandle for the regulator supplying the control
+ voltage.
+- output-voltage-range : an array of two integer values specifying the range
+ (min/max) of the output voltage. The min/max voltage
+ constraints of the regulator (if specified) must not
+ exceed this range.
+- ctrl-voltage-range : an array of two integer values specifying the range
+ (min/max) of the control voltage. The values of
+ ctrl-voltage-range and output-voltage-range are used
+ for the conversion between output and control voltage.
+ The min/max values of ctrl-voltage-range must specify
+ the control voltage needed to generate the min/max
+ output voltage.
+
+Optional properties:
+--------------------
+- ovp-threshold-percent : overvoltage protection (OVP) threshold of the
+ regulator in percent. Some regulators have an OVP
+ circuitry which shuts down the regulator when the
+ actual output voltage deviates beyond a certain
+ margin from the expected value for a given control
+ voltage. On larger voltage decreases this can occur
+ undesiredly since the output voltage does not adjust
+ inmediately to changes in the control voltage. To
+ avoid this situation the vctrl driver breaks down
+ larger voltage decreases into multiple steps, where
+ each step is within the OVP threshold.
+- min-slew-down-rate : Describes how slowly the regulator voltage will decay
+ down in the worst case (lightest expected load).
+ Specified in uV / us (like main regulator ramp rate).
+ This value is required when ovp-threshold-percent is
+ specified.
+
+Example:
+
+ vctrl_reg {
+ compatible = "vctrl-regulator";
+ regulator-name = "vctrl_reg";
+
+ ctrl-supply = <&ctrl_supply>;
+
+ regulator-min-microvolt = <800000>;
+ regulator-max-microvolt = <1500000>;
+
+ output-voltage-range = <800000 1500000>;
+ ctrl-voltage-range = <200000 500000>;
+
+ slew-rate = <225>;
+ ovp-threshold-percent = <16>;
+ };
