[PATCH RFC v4 07/13] regulator: find active protections during initialization

From: Benjamin Bara
Date: Tue Jun 20 2023 - 16:04:07 EST


From: Benjamin Bara <benjamin.bara@xxxxxxxxxxx>

It can happen that monitors are activated before the kernel is started,
e.g. by bootloader or by OTP. If monitoring workarounds are active on a
regulator, the core shouldn't perform the state changes without applying
the workaround to the regulator. Therefore, warn the user already during
initialization that the device-tree should be adapted.

Warning can be fixed by enabling (or disabling) monitoring in the DT,
e.g.:
regulator-uv-protection-microvolt = <1>;
or
regulator-ov-error-microvolt = <0>;

Constraints regarding the monitoring of a regulator can usually be found
in the docu.
