+Bindings for the Generic PWM Regulator
+======================================
+
+Currently supports 2 modes of operation:
+
+Voltage Table: When in this mode, a voltage table (See below) of
+ predefined voltage <=> duty-cycle values must be
+ provided via DT. Limitations are that the regulator can
+ only operate at the voltages supplied in the table.
+ Intermediary duty-cycle values which would normally
+ allow finer grained voltage selection are ignored and
+ rendered useless. Although more control is given to
+ the user if the assumptions made in continuous-voltage
+ mode do not reign true.
+
+Continuous Voltage: This mode uses the regulator's maximum and minimum
+ supplied voltages specified in the
+ regulator-{min,max}-microvolt properties to calculate
+ appropriate duty-cycle values. This allows for a much
+ more fine grained solution when compared with
+ voltage-table mode above. This solution does make an
+ assumption that a %50 duty-cycle value will cause the
+ regulator voltage to run at half way between the
+ supplied max_uV and min_uV values.
Required properties:
-- compatible: Should be "pwm-regulator"
-- pwms: OF device-tree PWM specification (see PWM binding pwm.txt)
-- voltage-table: voltage and duty table, include 2 members in each set of
- brackets, first one is voltage(unit: uv), the next is duty(unit: percent)
+--------------------
+- compatible: Should be "pwm-regulator"
+
+- pwms: PWM specification (See: ../pwm/pwm.txt)
+
+Only required for Voltage Table Mode:
+- voltage-table: Voltage and Duty-Cycle table consisting of 2 cells
+ First cell is voltage in microvolts (uV)
+ Second cell is duty-cycle in percent (%)
+
+NB: To be clear, if voltage-table is provided, then the device will be used
+in Voltage Table Mode. If no voltage-table is provided, then the device will
+be used in Continuous Voltage Mode.
-Any property defined as part of the core regulator binding defined in
-regulator.txt can also be used.
