I gave it a second try to find out details for this pin: 1. The pin is named PMEN in the Nokia N900 schematics 2. PMEN is described as "Power management enable - system shutdown" in a crippled datasheet of the wl1253, which I found in the internet. I don't think this is supposed to be handled by the regulator API. -- Sebastian -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
