Laxman Dewangan 8c5e461df7 regulator: dt: add policy to have property "regulator-compatible"
Add the policy for regulator DT such that if device have multiple
regulator and its binding contains a child node that describes each
regulator then each regulator child node must have the property
"regulator-compatible" which matches with regulator name of their
hardware counterparts.
Modify the DT documentation of regulator devices to reflect this
policy.

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
- <name>-supply: phandle to the parent supply/regulator node
- regulator-ramp-delay: ramp delay for regulator(in uV/uS)
- 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.
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>;
};
