This isn't good, it means that the regulator has to be able to deliver exactly the limit requested.

Regulators should be tending to the maximum in the available range and consumers should specify the widest range possible so both a and b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
