From 31aae2beeb3d601d556b6a8c39085940ad1e9f42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Brown Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2009 12:21:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] regulator: Allow regulators to specify the time taken to ramp on enable Regulators may sometimes take longer to enable than the control operation used to do so, either because the regulator has ramp rate control used to limit inrush current or because the control operation is very fast (GPIO being the most common example of this). In order to ensure that consumers do not rely on the regulator before it is enabled provide an enable_time() operation and have the core delay for that time before returning to the caller. This is implemented as a function since the ramp rate may be specified in voltage per unit time and therefore the time depend on the configuration. In future it would be desirable to allow the bulk operations to run the delays for multiple enables in parallel but this is not currently supported.
