[PATCH v2 1/2] kernel: modules: package userspace consumer regulator

[Tomasz Maciej Nowak]

From: Tomasz Maciej Nowak <tmn505 at gmail.com>

Allows to enable/disable attached regulators from userspace, i.e. by
simply writing value to a sysfs exported state file. Useful in case of
USB port VBUS toggled by GPIO.
