You're right there's not much about the regulator there. Xulong Orange Pi PC is ARM SBC, that uses Allwinner H3 Soc, to which this regulator is connected via I2C bus, to regulate the main CPU supply voltage. It is used on some other SBC's from Xulong. It is fairly simple single output, fixed I2C address voltage regulator. It has just 3 registers, which allow for: slew rate control (not used in this driver), setting and reading out the voltage, switching between voltage set via I2C and via external resistor divider and enabling/disabling output. It also has status reporting for over-tempertature and over-current conditions. That's all the features it has. The patch series uses it to provide dynamic vltage scaling of the ARM cores in the SoC to be able to achieve higher CPU frequency. Datasheet is here: https://01916271185794791722.googlegroups.com/attach/93415fbd5402/SY8106A_datasheet.pdf?part=0.1&vt=ANaJVrHMej8w8XRfd-7A3XoyiryMDDhrHU2SS-tYyHCpOIXRqIaICOIlZTWAUV74vToesmic457zPvODDuvrNnRpomPOPbtV8bMMFV65VX5aYb5NciMkh8E I'll also include this information in the revised patch. thank you and regards, Ondrej Jirman
