Hello,

I was looking into how to properly implement regulators coupling for
NVIDIA Tegra SoC's and ended up with this patchset that introduces
machine-specific regulators coupling. Upstream kernel now has support
for a simple variants of regulators coupling in a form of limiting
maximum voltage spreading between two regulators, but that's not enough
for the case of Tegra SoC's. It's a bit difficult to support universally
all possible coupling restrictions in a form of device-tree description,
so here comes the machine-specific coupling API which allow platforms
to customize coupling algorithms.

Dmitry Osipenko (6):
regulator: core: Introduce API for machine-specific regulators
coupling
regulator: core: Parse max-spread value per regulator couple
regulator: core: Expose some of core functions
regulator: core Bump MAX_COUPLED to 3
soc/tegra: regulators: Add regulators coupler for Tegra20
soc/tegra: regulators: Add regulators coupler for Tegra30
