Description:
- Each regulator directory will contain a field called
- state. This holds the regulator output state.
+ Some regulator directories will contain a field called
+ state. This reports the regulator enable control, for
+ regulators which can report that input value.
This will be one of the following strings:
'unknown'
'enabled' means the regulator output is ON and is supplying
- power to the system.
+ power to the system (assuming no error prevents it).
'disabled' means the regulator output is OFF and is not
- supplying power to the system..
+ supplying power to the system (unless some non-Linux
+ control has enabled it).
- 'unknown' means software cannot determine the state.
+ 'unknown' means software cannot determine the state, or
+ the reported state is invalid.
NOTE: this field can be used in conjunction with microvolts
- and microamps to determine regulator output levels.

+What: /sys/class/regulator/.../status
+Description:
+ Some regulator directories will contain a field called
+ "status". This reports the current regulator status, for
+ regulators which can report that output value.
+
+ This will be one of the following strings:
+
+ off
+ on
+ error
+ fast
+ normal
+ idle
+ standby
+
+ "off" means the regulator is not supplying power to the
+ system.
+
+ "on" means the regulator is supplying power to the system,
+ and the regulator can't report a detailed operation mode.
+
+ "error" indicates an out-of-regulation status such as being
+ disabled due to thermal shutdown, or voltage being unstable
+ because of problems with the input power supply.
+
+ "fast", "normal", "idle", and "standby" are all detailed
+ regulator operation modes (described elsewhere). They
+ imply "on", but provide more detail.
+
+ Note that regulator status is a function of many inputs,
+ not limited to control inputs from Linux. For example,
+ the actual load presented may trigger "error" status; or
+ a regulator may be enabled by another user, even though
+ Linux did not enable it.
