STRUCT AB8500_REGULATOR_INFO(9)

💖 struct ab8500_regulator_info(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the struct ab8500_regulator_info(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the manual name, we're being fancy today. This is the ab8500 regulator information struct, and she's got a lot of fields, so grab a snack 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

struct ab8500_regulator_info — ab8500 regulator information. that's it, that's the whole name, slay 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ab8500_regulator_info {
    struct device           *dev;
    struct regulator_desc   desc;
    struct ab8500_shared_mode *shared_mode;
    int load_lp_uA;
    u8 update_bank;
    u8 update_reg;
    u8 update_mask;
    u8 update_val;
    u8 update_val_idle;
    u8 update_val_normal;
    u8 mode_bank;
    u8 mode_reg;
    u8 mode_mask;
    u8 mode_val_idle;
    u8 mode_val_normal;
    u8 voltage_bank;
    u8 voltage_reg;
    u8 voltage_mask;
 };

look at her. seventeen fields. main character energy fr 🔥

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so here's the member-by-member breakdown, iykyk:

• dev — device pointer. the classic. every struct's bestie 🫶
• desc — regulator description.
• shared_mode — used when mode is shared between two regulators. sharing is caring, no cap ✨
• load_lp_uA — maximum load in idle (low power) mode.
• update_bank — bank to control on/off.
• update_reg — register to control on/off.
• update_mask — mask to enable/disable and set mode of regulator.
• update_val — bits holding the regulator current mode.
• update_val_idle — bits to enable the regulator in idle (low power) mode. sleepy mode 😴
• update_val_normal — bits to enable the regulator in normal (high power) mode. awake mode ⚡
• mode_bank — bank with location of mode register.
• mode_reg — mode register.
• mode_mask — mask for setting mode.
• mode_val_idle — mode setting for low power.
• mode_val_normal — mode setting for normal power.
• voltage_bank — bank to control regulator voltage.
• voltage_reg — register to control regulator voltage.
• voltage_mask — mask to control regulator voltage.

notice how we've got the update_* squad, the mode_* squad, and the voltage_* squad? three little friend groups, each with a bank, a reg, and a mask. it's giving organization 💜

go read those next, bestie, they're literally referenced right there 👑

lowkey a reminder: shared_mode only matters when the mode is shared between two regulators — don't forget or you'll be confused later 😭

🌈 that's the whole page!! no cap, every field accounted for. this was struct ab8500...gulator_info(9) from the Kernel API Manual, sourced from ./drivers/regulator, dated October 2026 — catch you in the next manpage, mwah 💖🎀🦋
