[PATCH v3 4/4] regulator: core: Balance coupled regulators voltages

From: Maciej Purski
Date: Thu Dec 07 2017 - 04:48:06 EST


On Odroid XU3/4 and other Exynos5422 based boards there is a case, that
different devices on the board are supplied by different regulators
with non-fixed voltages. If one of these devices temporarily requires
higher voltage, there might occur a situation that the spread between
two devices' voltages is so high, that there is a risk of changing
'high' and 'low' states on the interconnection between devices powered
by those regulators.

Introduce new function regulator_balance_coupled(), which
keeps max_spread constraint fulfilled between a group of coupled
regulators. It should be called if a coupled regulator changes its
voltage or after disabling or enabling. Disabled regulators should
follow changes of the enabled ones, but their consumers' demands
shouldn't be taken into account while calculating voltage of other
coupled regulators.

Find voltages, which are closest to suiting all the consumers' demands,
while fulfilling max_spread constraint, keeping the following rules:
- if one regulator is about to rise its voltage, rise others
voltages in order to keep the max_spread
- if a regulator, which has caused rising other regulators, is
lowered, lower other regulators if possible
- if one regulator is about to lower its voltage, but it hasn't caused
rising other regulators, don't change its voltage if it breaks the
max_spread

Change regulators' voltages step by step, keeping max_spread constraint
fulfilled all the time. Function regulator_coupled_get_optimal_voltage()
should find the best possible change for the regulator, which doesn't break
max_spread constraint. In function regulator_balance_coupled_voltage()
optimize number of steps by finding highest voltage difference on each
iteration.
