+Constrained Supply Regulator
+
+This binding allow creating a virtual regulator that constrain its
+supply to provides the requested voltage. This is to allow using
+simple drivers that don't explicitly request a voltage on boards
+that have adjustable hardware regulators.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : Must be "regulator-constrained-supply".
+- vin-supply : phandle to the parent supply/regulator node
+
+Optional properties:
+- any property defined in regulator.txt
+
+Example:
+
+  /* Adjustable regulator for extension boards */
+  vdd_ext: regulator@0 {
+  	regulator-min-microvolt = <1000000>;
+  	regulator-max-microvolt = <10000000>;
+  };
+
+  /* An extension board that need 3.3V */
+  vdd_ext_board1: regulator@1 {
+	compatible = "regulator-constrained-supply";
+  	regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>;
+  	regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>;
+	vin-supply = <&vdd_ext>;
+  };
