Voltage and current regulator API¶

Introduction¶
This framework is designed to provide a standard kernel interface to control voltage and current regulators.
The intention is to allow systems to dynamically control regulator power output in order to save power and prolong battery life. This applies to both voltage regulators (where voltage output is controllable) and current sinks (where current limit is controllable).
Note that additional (and currently more complete) documentation is
available in the Linux kernel source under
Documentation/power/regulator
.
Glossary¶
The regulator API uses a number of terms which may not be familiar:
Regulator
Electronic device that supplies power to other devices. Most regulators can enable and disable their output and some can also control their output voltage or current.
Consumer
Electronic device which consumes power provided by a regulator. These may either be static, requiring only a fixed supply, or dynamic, requiring active management of the regulator at runtime.
Power Domain
The electronic circuit supplied by a given regulator, including the regulator and all consumer devices. The configuration of the regulator is shared between all the components in the circuit.
Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC)
An IC which contains numerous regulators and often also other subsystems. In an embedded system the primary PMIC is often equivalent to a combination of the PSU and southbridge in a desktop system.
Consumer driver interface¶
This offers a similar API to the kernel clock framework. Consumer drivers use get and put operations to acquire and release regulators. Functions are provided to enable and disable the regulator and to get and set the runtime parameters of the regulator.
When requesting regulators consumers use symbolic names for their supplies, such as “Vcc”, which are mapped into actual regulator devices by the machine interface.
A stub version of this API is provided when the regulator framework is not in use in order to minimise the need to use ifdefs.
Enabling and disabling¶
The regulator API provides reference counted enabling and disabling of
regulators. Consumer devices use the regulator_enable()
and
regulator_disable()
functions to enable and disable
regulators. Calls to the two functions must be balanced.
Note that since multiple consumers may be using a regulator and machine
constraints may not allow the regulator to be disabled there is no
guarantee that calling regulator_disable()
will actually
cause the supply provided by the regulator to be disabled. Consumer
drivers should assume that the regulator may be enabled at all times.
Configuration¶
Some consumer devices may need to be able to dynamically configure their supplies. For example, MMC drivers may need to select the correct operating voltage for their cards. This may be done while the regulator is enabled or disabled.
The regulator_set_voltage()
and
regulator_set_current_limit()
functions provide the primary
interface for this. Both take ranges of voltages and currents, supporting
drivers that do not require a specific value (eg, CPU frequency scaling
normally permits the CPU to use a wider range of supply voltages at lower
frequencies but does not require that the supply voltage be lowered). Where
an exact value is required both minimum and maximum values should be
identical.
Callbacks¶
Callbacks may also be registered for events such as regulation failures.
Regulator driver interface¶
Drivers for regulator chips register the regulators with the regulator core, providing operations structures to the core. A notifier interface allows error conditions to be reported to the core.
Registration should be triggered by explicit setup done by the platform,
supplying a struct regulator_init_data
for the regulator
containing constraint and supply information.
Machine interface¶
This interface provides a way to define how regulators are connected to consumers on a given system and what the valid operating parameters are for the system.
Supplies¶
Regulator supplies are specified using struct
regulator_consumer_supply
. This is done at driver registration
time as part of the machine constraints.
Constraints¶
As well as defining the connections the machine interface also provides constraints defining the operations that clients are allowed to perform and the parameters that may be set. This is required since generally regulator devices will offer more flexibility than it is safe to use on a given system, for example supporting higher supply voltages than the consumers are rated for.
This is done at driver registration time` by providing a
struct regulation_constraints
.
The constraints may also specify an initial configuration for the regulator in the constraints, which is particularly useful for use with static consumers.
API reference¶
Due to limitations of the kernel documentation framework and the existing layout of the source code the entire regulator API is documented here.

(struct device * dev, const char * id)¶ lookup and obtain a reference to a regulator.
Parameters
struct device * dev
- device for regulator “consumer”
const char * id
- Supply name or regulator ID.
Description
Returns a struct regulator corresponding to the regulator producer,
or IS_ERR()
condition containing errno.
Use of supply names configured via regulator_set_device_supply()
is
strongly encouraged. It is recommended that the supply name used
should match the name used for the supply and/or the relevant
device pins in the datasheet.
-
struct regulator *

Parameters
struct device * dev
- device for regulator “consumer”
const char * id
- Supply name or regulator ID.
Description
Returns a struct regulator corresponding to the regulator producer,
or IS_ERR()
condition containing errno. Other consumers will be
unable to obtain this regulator while this reference is held and the
use count for the regulator will be initialised to reflect the current
state of the regulator.
This is intended for use by consumers which cannot tolerate shared use of the regulator such as those which need to force the regulator off for correct operation of the hardware they are controlling.
Use of supply names configured via regulator_set_device_supply()
is
strongly encouraged. It is recommended that the supply name used
should match the name used for the supply and/or the relevant
device pins in the datasheet.

Parameters
struct device * dev

Description
Returns a struct regulator corresponding to the regulator producer,
or IS_ERR()
condition containing errno.
This is intended for use by consumers for devices which can have
some supplies unconnected in normal use, such as some MMC devices.
It can allow the regulator core to provide stub supplies for other
supplies requested using normal regulator_get()
calls without
disrupting the operation of drivers that can handle absent
supplies.
Use of supply names configured via regulator_set_device_supply()
is
strongly encouraged. It is recommended that the supply name used
should match the name used for the supply and/or the relevant
device pins in the datasheet.

Notifies the regulator core of a new device load. This is then used by DRMS (if enabled by constraints) to set the most efficient regulator operating mode for the new regulator loading.
Consumer devices notify their supply regulator of the maximum power they will require (can be taken from device datasheet in the power consumption tables) when they change operational status and hence power state. Examples of operational state changes that can affect power consumption are :-
o Device is opened / closed. o Device I/O is about to begin or has just finished. o Device is idling in between work.
This information is also exported via sysfs to userspace.
DRMS will sum the total requested load on the regulator and change to the most efficient operating mode if platform constraints allow.
On error a negative errno is returned.
