The binding is done +by the prefix of regulator node's name. Usually the pmic I/O driver will provide +the array of 'struct pmic_child_info' with the prefixes and compatible drivers. +The bind is done by calling function: pmic_bind_childs(). +Example drivers: +pmic: drivers/power/pmic/max77686.c +regulator: drivers/power/regulator/max77686.c + +For the node name e.g.: "prefix[:alpha:]num { ... }": +- the driver prefix should be: "prefix" or "PREFIX" - case insensitive +- the node name's "num" is set as "dev->driver_data" on bind + +Example the prefix "ldo" will pass for: "ldo1", "ldo@1", "LDO1", "LDOREG@1"... + +Required properties: +- regulator-name: a string, required by the regulator uclass + +Note +The "regulator-name" constraint is used for setting the device's uclass +platform data '.name' field.
