Actually the regulator API isn't really about power savings - it's about voltage and current regulation. Higher layers can use these features to save power but it's not somethnig the regulator API cares about. If the documentation suggests it is we might want to fix that up. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
