[PATCH v2 0/2] extcon: Add extcon-regulator driver

[Zev Weiss]

Hello,

This is a restructured v2 of a series adding support for
regulator-supplied power output connectors.

Changes since v1 [0, 1]:
 - Dropped regulator-external-output DT property [Mark]
 - Moved DT binding to connector/regulator-connector.yaml [Krzysztof]
 - Dropped EXTERNAL_GET type and other regulator-core changes

This driver aims to support hardware where a regulator supplies a
power output connector, such as a power outlet on a DC power
distribution unit (PDU).  (The specific system I'm targeting at the
moment is the Delta AHE-50DC Open19 power shelf [2], for which I'm
working on a port of OpenBMC.)

Patch 1 adds the regulator-connector DT binding, with a single
property specifying the regulator supplying the connector's output
power, and patch 2 adds an extcon driver (extcon-regulator).  The
driver currently doesn't actually do much extcon-wise, because the
AHE-50DC hardware is quite minimal and doesn't really offer much for
it to do, but if other similar devices in the future do have
additional functionality to support (such as a presence-detection
mechanism) the driver can be extended to add that.


Thanks,
Zev
