We don't have such a document, but interesting to think about what would be in it... Perhaps a 'best practice' document would be a better way of putting it. I don't really want to see a huge number of patches adding regulators to drivers that don't have them already for example. Clearly no one needed them yet :) If you want to take a stab at such a document that would be great. Jonathan > > Thanks, > Alex
