[PATCH v3 2/7] regulator: Handle system-critical under-voltage events

From: Oleksij Rempel
Date: Wed Oct 25 2023 - 04:46:52 EST


Introduce handling for system-critical regulators during under-voltage
events.
A new field 'system_critical' in regulation_constraints is added to mark
regulators critical to system stability or functionality. During an
under-voltage event, if the regulator is marked as system-critical, an
emergency hardware protection shutdown is triggered to prevent potential
system damage or malfunction.
