Subject: Applied "regulator: fixed/gpio: Update device tree bindings" to the regulator tree

The patch

   regulator: fixed/gpio: Update device tree bindings

has been applied to the regulator tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] regulator: fixed/gpio: Update device tree bindings

Deprecate the open drain binding for fixed regulator and indicate
that we prefer this to be passed in the GPIO phandle flags.

Clarify that the line inversion semantics for fixed and GPIO
regulators completely overrides the active low flags in the
phandle flags.

Unfortunately this can not be changed to prefer that we pass
the flags in the phandle: the bindings have been specified and
deployed such that the presence/absence of this flag and only
that controls the line inversion semantics. The crucial semantic
is that the absence of the flag means the core will assume
the line is active low, which in GPIO terms is an exception,
as GPIO lines are normally assumed to be active high.

This special device tree semantic cannot be changed without
introducing a whole new compatible string for the fixed and
GPIO regulators, so we just contain the situation.
