+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.

+Description:
+               Each regulator directory will contain a field called

+               by software.
+
+               'current' means the regulator output current limit can be
+               controlled by software.
