+Bindings for Voltage controlled regulators
+==========================================
+
+Required properties:
+--------------------
+- compatible : must be "vctrl-regulator".
+- regulator-min-microvolt : smallest voltage consumers may set
+- regulator-max-microvolt : largest voltage consumers may set
+- ctrl-supply : The regulator supplying the control voltage.
+- ctrl-voltage-range : an array of two integer values describing the range
+ (min/max) of the control voltage. The values specify
+ the control voltage needed to generate the corresponding
+ regulator-min/max-microvolt output voltage.
+
+Optional properties:
+--------------------
+- ovp-threshold-percent : overvoltage protection (OVP) threshold of the
+ regulator in percent. Some regulators have an OVP
+ circuitry which shuts down the regulator when the
+ actual output voltage deviates beyond a certain
+ margin from the expected value for a given control
+ voltage. On larger voltage decreases this can occur
+ undesiredly since the output voltage does not adjust
+ inmediately to changes in the control voltage. To
+ avoid this situation the vctrl driver breaks down
+ larger voltage decreases into multiple steps, where
+ each step is within the OVP threshold.
+- min-slew-down-rate : Describes how slowly the regulator voltage will decay
+ down in the worst case (lightest expected load).
+ Specified in uV / us (like main regulator ramp rate).
+ This value is required when ovp-threshold-percent is
+ specified.
+
+Example:
+
+ vctrl-reg {
+ compatible = "vctrl-regulator";
+ regulator-name = "vctrl_reg";
+
+ ctrl-supply = <&ctrl_reg>;
+
+ regulator-min-microvolt = <800000>;
+ regulator-max-microvolt = <1500000>;
+
+ ctrl-voltage-range = <200000 500000>;
+
+ min-slew-down-rate = <225>;
+ ovp-threshold-percent = <16>;
+ };
