* Question on "regulator" platform device

Guys:


The text in Documentation/power/regulator/machine.txt describes how to
place regulator_init_data and regulator_consumer_supply structures
into the .dev.platform_data field of a platform_device structure.  The
platform_device.name field equals "regulator".

Trouble is, I can't find anywhere in the drivers/regulator code that
registers a platform_driver named "regulator".  Am I just going blind?


Thanks!


b.g.

As ever please remember to CC maintainers so they see your mails,

This is just an example of how to supply platform data to a device.
You need to pass things into the driver for whatever regulator you are
using.  There are quite a few systems in the tree using regulators
which you can use for reference...
