e941d0ce 5Description:
7ad68e2f 6 Some regulator directories will contain a field called
853116a1
DB
7 state. This reports the regulator enable control, for
8 regulators which can report that input value.
e941d0ce
LG
9
10 This will be one of the following strings:
11
12 'enabled'
13 'disabled'
14 'unknown'
15
16 'enabled' means the regulator output is ON and is supplying
853116a1 17 power to the system (assuming no error prevents it).
e941d0ce
LG
18
19 'disabled' means the regulator output is OFF and is not
853116a1
DB
20 supplying power to the system (unless some non-Linux
21 control has enabled it).
e941d0ce 22
7ad68e2f
DB
23 'unknown' means software cannot determine the state, or
24 the reported state is invalid.
e941d0ce
LG
25
26 NOTE: this field can be used in conjunction with microvolts
853116a1
DB
27 or microamps to determine configured regulator output levels.

30What: /sys/class/regulator/.../status
31Description:
32 Some regulator directories will contain a field called
33 "status". This reports the current regulator status, for
34 regulators which can report that output value.
35
36 This will be one of the following strings:
37
38 off
39 on
40 error
41 fast
42 normal
43 idle
44 standby
45
46 "off" means the regulator is not supplying power to the
47 system.
48
49 "on" means the regulator is supplying power to the system,
50 and the regulator can't report a detailed operation mode.
51
52 "error" indicates an out-of-regulation status such as being
53 disabled due to thermal shutdown, or voltage being unstable
54 because of problems with the input power supply.
55
56 "fast", "normal", "idle", and "standby" are all detailed
57 regulator operation modes (described elsewhere). They
58 imply "on", but provide more detail.
59
60 Note that regulator status is a function of many inputs,
61 not limited to control inputs from Linux. For example,
62 the actual load presented may trigger "error" status; or
63 a regulator may be enabled by another user, even though
64 Linux did not enable it.

84 'current' means the regulator output current limit can be
85 controlled by software.

88 current limit.
