The regulator framework is designed to provide a standard kernel interface to control voltage and current regulators on SoC based systems. The intention is to allow systems to dynamically control regulator power output in order to save power and prolong battery life. This applies to both voltage regulators (where voltage output is controllable) and current sinks (where current limit is controllable). Liam
