[RFC,1/5] dt-bindings: mfd: x-powers,axp152: Add polyphased property
Commit Message
Some X-Powers AXP PMICs can combine some of their DC/DC buck converter
outputs in a multi-phase fashion, to achieve higher currents and
decrease the output ripple. The datasheets call this poly-phase. This is
programmable in the PMIC, although often set up as the PMIC's reset
default.
Add the "x-powers,polyphased" property to the binding, to describe those
pairs or tuples of regulators that should work together. In the lead
regulator node, the property lists the phandles of the connected
regulators. Just an empty property means no poly-phasing.
