[PATCH 01/12] power: sequencing: Introduce an API to check whether the pwrseq is fixed or controllable

From: Manivannan Sadhasivam via B4 Relay

Date: Wed Apr 22 2026 - 07:26:10 EST


From: Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce an API pwrseq_is_fixed() so that the consumers can check whether
the given power sequencer is fixed or controllable. This will come handy
in situations where the consumers need to know whether the specific power
sequencer like 'Bluetooth' can be controllable using properties like BT_EN.
