What:		/sys/class/regulator/.../state
Date:		April 2008
KernelVersion:	2.6.26
Contact:	Liam Girdwood <lrg@slimlogic.co.uk>
Description:
		Some regulator directories will contain a field called
		state. This reports the regulator enable control, for
		regulators which can report that input value.

		This will be one of the following strings:

		'enabled'
		'disabled'
		'unknown'

		'enabled' means the regulator output is ON and is supplying
		power to the system (assuming no error prevents it).

		'disabled' means the regulator output is OFF and is not
		supplying power to the system (unless some non-Linux
		control has enabled it).

		'unknown' means software cannot determine the state, or
		the reported state is invalid.

		NOTE: this field can be used in conjunction with microvolts
		or microamps to determine configured regulator output levels.


What:		/sys/class/regulator/.../status
Description:
		Some regulator directories will contain a field called
		"status". This reports the current regulator status, for
		regulators which can report that output value.

		This will be one of the following strings:

			- off
			- on
			- error
			- fast
			- normal
			- idle
			- standby

		"off" means the regulator is not supplying power to the
		system.

		"on" means the regulator is supplying power to the system,
		and the regulator can't report a detailed operation mode.

		"error" indicates an out-of-regulation status such as being
		disabled due to thermal shutdown, or voltage being unstable
		because of problems with the input power supply.

		"fast", "normal", "idle", and "standby" are all detailed
		regulator operation modes (described elsewhere).  They
		imply "on", but provide more detail.

		Note that regulator status is a function of many inputs,
		not limited to control inputs from Linux.  For example,
		the actual load presented may trigger "error" status; or
		a regulator may be enabled by another user, even though
		Linux did not enable it.

		controlled by software.

		'unknown' means software cannot control either voltage or
		current limit.

		- 'idle'
		- 'standby'
		- 'unknown'

		The modes are described in include/linux/regulator/consumer.h

		NOTE: This value should not be used to determine the regulator
		output operating mode as this value is the same regardless of
		whether the regulator is enabled or disabled.  A "status"
		attribute may be available to determine the actual mode.
