Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] dt-bindings: pfuze100: add optional disable switch-regulators binding
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2018 09:47:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180723074747.9328-2-m.felsch@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180723074747.9328-1-m.felsch@pengutronix.de>

This binding is used to keep the backward compatibility with the current
dtb's [1]. The binding informs the driver that the unused switch regulators
can be disabled.
If it is not specified, the driver doesn't disable the switch regulators.

[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10490381/

Signed-off-by: Marco Felsch <m.felsch@pengutronix.de>

Changes in v3:
  - rename dt binding, add -sw suffix
  - fix description

Changes in V2:
  - add more information about the binding
  - rename binding and add vendor prefix
