The regulators are basically power supplies. The regulator framework abstracts away the control the these power supplies. It allows us to switch off power supplies when a particular device is not in use (to save power).
If the regulators are not initialised, the connected peripheral won't work. (serious) If the regulators are not powered off, we will consume more power. If the regulators are configured incorrectly (incorrect voltage), the peripheral might not be able to operate and maximum capacity or behave erratically. IOW, this needs to be fixed. -- regulator issues with 2.6.31 vs 2.6.28 with the same patchset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
