This can be used to describe a power output supplied by a regulator
device that the system controls.

My bot found errors running 'make DT_CHECKER_FLAGS=-m dt_binding_check'
on your patch (DT_CHECKER_FLAGS is new in v5.13):

yamllint warnings/errors:
./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/misc/power-efuse.yaml:10:2: [warning] wrong indentation: expected 2 but found 1 (indentation)

dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1594124

This check can fail if there are any dependencies. The base for a patch
series is generally the most recent rc1.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit.

No idea what this is, but I doubt any such generic device exists. This 
needs sufficient description to be convincing that it is indeed generic.

What are 'error flags'? Not something I've heard with respect to 
regulators.

I was struggling a bit to come up with a reasonably concise title; this 
admittedly isn't great.

Would a description like the following clarify it adequately?

   description: |
     This binding describes a physical power output supplied by a 
     regulator providing efuse functionality (manual on/off control, and 
     auto-shutoff if current, voltage, or thermal limits are exceeded).
     
     These may be found on systems such as "smart" network PDUs, and 
     typically supply power to devices entirely separate from the system 
     described by the device-tree by way of an external connector such as 
     an Open19 power cable:

That refers to the REGULATOR_ERROR_* flags in 
include/linux/regulator/consumer.h, in whatever "physical" form those 
ultimately take -- for example, in the PMBus-based case I'm currently 
aiming to support, they'd map to the flags returned by PMBus STATUS_* 
commands.  


Thanks for the review,
