Laxman Dewangan 00c877c69b regulator: core: add support for configuring turn-on time through constraints
The turn-on time of the regulator depends on the regulator device's
electrical characteristics. Sometimes regulator turn-on time also
depends on the capacitive load on the given platform and it can be
more than the datasheet value.

The driver provides the enable-time as per datasheet.

Add support for configure the enable ramp time through regulator
constraints so that regulator core can take this value for enable
time for that regulator.

Voltage/Current Regulators
Optional properties:
- regulator-name: A string used as a descriptive name for regulator outputs
- regulator-min-microvolt: smallest voltage consumers may set
- regulator-max-microvolt: largest voltage consumers may set
- regulator-microvolt-offset: Offset applied to voltages to compensate for voltage drops
- regulator-min-microamp: smallest current consumers may set
- regulator-max-microamp: largest current consumers may set
- regulator-always-on: boolean, regulator should never be disabled
- regulator-boot-on: bootloader/firmware enabled regulator
- regulator-allow-bypass: allow the regulator to go into bypass mode
- <name>-supply: phandle to the parent supply/regulator node
- regulator-ramp-delay: ramp delay for regulator(in uV/uS)
For hardwares which support disabling ramp rate, it should be explicitly
intialised to zero (regulator-ramp-delay = <0>) for disabling ramp delay.
- regulator-enable-ramp-delay: The time taken, in microseconds, for the supply
rail to reach the target voltage, plus/minus whatever tolerance the board
design requires. This property describes the total system ramp time
required due to the combination of internal ramping of the regulator itself,
and board design issues such as trace capacitance and load on the supply.
Deprecated properties:
- regulator-compatible: If a regulator chip contains multiple
regulators, and if the chip's binding contains a child node that
describes each regulator, then this property indicates which regulator
this child node is intended to configure. If this property is missing,
the node's name will be used instead.
Example:
xyzreg: regulator@0 {
regulator-min-microvolt = <1000000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <2500000>;
regulator-always-on;
vin-supply = <&vin>;
};
Regulator Consumers:
Consumer nodes can reference one or more of its supplies/
regulators using the below bindings.
- <name>-supply: phandle to the regulator node
These are the same bindings that a regulator in the above
example used to reference its own supply, in which case
its just seen as a special case of a regulator being a
consumer itself.
Example of a consumer device node (mmc) referencing two
regulators (twl_reg1 and twl_reg2),
twl_reg1: regulator@0 {
...
...
...
};
twl_reg2: regulator@1 {
...
...
...
};
mmc: mmc@0x0 {
...
...
vmmc-supply = <&twl_reg1>;
vmmcaux-supply = <&twl_reg2>;
};
