What:		/sys/class/regulator/.../state
Date:		April 2008
KernelVersion:	2.6.26
Contact:	Liam Girdwood <lrg@slimlogic.co.uk>
Description:
		Some regulator directories will contain a field called
		state. This reports the regulator enable status, for
		regulators which can report that value.

		This will be one of the following strings:

		'enabled'
		'disabled'
		'unknown'

		'enabled' means the regulator output is ON and is supplying
		power to the system.

		'disabled' means the regulator output is OFF and is not
		supplying power to the system..

		'unknown' means software cannot determine the state, or
		the reported state is invalid.

		NOTE: this field can be used in conjunction with microvolts
		and microamps to determine regulator output levels.

KernelVersion:	2.6.26
Contact:	Liam Girdwood <lrg@slimlogic.co.uk>
Description:
		Each regulator directory will contain a field called
		type. This holds the regulator type.

		This will be one of the following strings:

		by software.

		'current' means the regulator output current limit can be
		controlled by software.

		'unknown' means software cannot control either voltage or
		current limit.
