Looking closer at this, keeping track of a list of devices and
constraints is what the regulator framework does as well.
Before we get too far down this path, we need to start working with
Thomas Petazzoni to better understand how we can use the regulator
framework for much of the management levels of the voltage layer.
Yes, as discussed on IRC with Kevin, I think that some of this voltage
layer mechanisms would benefit from using the existing kernel regulator
framework.
The regulator framework already keeps tracks of consumers (in your
patch set called "vdd users"), and for each consumer, keeps track of
the requested voltage. The maximum requested voltage is then applied to
the regulator. It seems to fit quite well some of the mechanisms youre
introducing in this patch set.
Regards,
Thomas
