+Specifying Power Sequences in the Device Tree
+=============================================
+In the device tree, power sequences are specified as sub-nodes of the device
+node and reference resources declared by that device.
+
+For an introduction about runtime interpreted power sequences, see
+Documentation/power/power_seq.txt and include/linux/power_seq.h.
+
+Power Sequences Structure
+-------------------------
+Power sequences are sub-nodes that are named such as the device driver can find
+them. The driver's documentation should list the sequence names it recognizes.
+
+Inside a power sequence node are sub-nodes that describe the different steps
+of the sequence. Each step must be named sequentially, with the first step
+named step0, the second step1, etc. Failure to follow this rule will result in a
+parsing error.
+
+Power Sequences Steps
+---------------------
+Every step of a sequence describes an action to be performed on a resource. It
+generally includes a property named after the resource type, and which value
+references the resource to be used. Depending on the resource type, additional
+properties can be defined to control the action to be performed.
+
+Currently supported resource types are:
+- "delay", which should simply contain a delay in microseconds to wait before
+  going on with the rest of the sequence. It takes no additional property.
+- "regulator" contains the name of a regulator to be acquired using
+  regulator_get(). An additional property, either "enable" or "disable", must be
+  present to control whether the regulator should be enabled or disabled during
+  that step.
+- "pwm" is set to the name of a PWM acquired using pwm_get(). As with regulator,
+  an additional "enable" or "disable" property is required.
+- "gpio" contains the name of a GPIO to enable or disable using the same
+  additional property as regulator or pwm. The gpio is resolved by appending
+  "-gpio" to the given name and looking for a device property with a GPIO
+  phandle.
+
+Example
+-------
+Here are example sequences declared within a backlight device that use all the
+supported resources types:
+
+	backlight {
+		compatible = "pwm-backlight";
+		...
+
+		/* resources used by the sequences */
+		pwms = <&pwm 2 5000000>;
+		pwm-names = "backlight";
+		power-supply = <&backlight_reg>;
+		enable-gpio = <&gpio 28 0>;
+
+		power-on-sequence {
+			step0 {
+				regulator = "power";
+				enable;
+			};
+			step1 {
+				delay = <10000>;
+			};
+			step2 {
+				pwm = "backlight";
+				enable;
+			};
+			step3 {
+				gpio = "enable";
+				enable;
+			};
+		};
+
+		power-off-sequence {
+			step0 {
+				gpio = "enable";
+				disable;
+			};
+			step1 {
+				pwm = "backlight";
+				disable;
+			};
+			step2 {
+				delay = <10000>;
+			};
+			step3 {
+				regulator = "power";
+				disable;
+			};
+		};
+	};
+
+The first part lists the PWM, regulator, and GPIO resources used by the
+sequences. These resources will be requested on behalf of the backlight device
+when the sequences are built and are declared according to their own framework
+in a way that makes them accessible by name.
+
+After the resources declaration, two sequences follow for powering the backlight
+on and off. Their names are specified by the pwm-backlight driver. Every step
+uses one of the "delay", "regulator", "pwm" or "gpio" properties to reference a
+previously-declared resource. Additional "enable" or "disable" properties are
+also used as needed.

+Runtime Interpreted Power Sequences
+===================================
+
+Problem
+-------
+One very common board-dependent code is the out-of-driver code that is used to
+turn a device on or off. For instance, SoC boards very commonly use a GPIO
+(abstracted to a regulator or not) to control the power supply of a backlight,
+disabling it when the backlight is not used in order to save power. The GPIO
+that should be used, however, as well as the exact power sequence that may
+also involve other resources, is board-dependent and thus unknown of the driver.
+
+This was previously addressed by having hooks in the device's platform data that
+are called whenever the state of the device might reflect a power change. This
+approach, however, introduces board-dependant code into the kernel and is not
+compatible with the device tree.
+
+The Runtime Interpreted Power Sequences (or power sequences for short) aims at
+turning this code into platform data or device tree nodes. Power sequences are
+described using a simple format and run by a simple interpreter whenever needed.
+This allows to remove the callback mechanism and makes the kernel less
+board-dependant.
+
+What are Power Sequences?
+-------------------------
+Power sequences are a series of sequential steps during which an action is
+performed on a resource. The supported resources so far are:
+- delay (just wait for the delay given in microseconds)
+- GPIO (enable or disable)
+- regulator (enable or disable)
+- PWM (enable or disable)
+
+Every step designates a resource type and parameters that are relevant to it.
+For instance, GPIO and PWMs can be enabled or disabled.
+
+When a power sequence is run, each of its step is executed sequentially until
+one step fails or the end of the sequence is reached.
+
+Power sequences can be declared as platform data or in the device tree.
+
+Platform Data Format
+--------------------
+All relevant data structures for declaring power sequences are located in
+include/linux/power_seq.h.
+
+The platform data is a static instance of  simple array of
+platform_power_seq_step instances, each
+instance describing a step. The type as well as one of id or gpio members
+(depending on the type) must be specified. The last step must be of type
+POWER_SEQ_STOP. Regulator and PWM resources are identified by name. GPIO are
+identified by number. For example, the following sequence will turn on the
+"power" regulator of the device, wait 10ms, and set GPIO number 110 to 1:
+
+static struct platform_power_seq power_on_seq = {
+		.nb_steps = 3,
+		.steps = {
+			{
+				.type = POWER_SEQ_REGULATOR,
+				.regulator.regulator = "power",
+				.regulator.enable = 1,
+			},
+			{
+				.type = POWER_SEQ_DELAY,
+				.delay.delay_us = 10000,
+			},
+			{
+				.type = POWER_SEQ_GPIO,
+				.gpio.gpio = 110,
+				.gpio.enable = 1,
+			},
+		},
+};
+
+Device Tree
+-----------
+Power sequences can also be encoded as device tree nodes. The following
+properties and nodes are equivalent to the platform data defined previously:
+
+		power-supply = <&power_reg>;
+		switch-gpio = <&gpio 110 0>;
+
+		power-on-sequence {
+			step0 {
+				regulator = "power";
+				enable;
+			};
+			step1 {
+				delay = <10000>;
+			};
+			step2 {
+				gpio = "switch";
+				enable;
+			};
+		};
+
+See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power_seq/power_seq.txt for the complete
+syntax of the bindings.
+
+Usage by Drivers and Resources Management
+-----------------------------------------
+Power sequences make use of resources that must be properly allocated and
+managed. The power_seq_build() function builds a power sequence from the
+platform data. It also takes care of resolving and allocating the resources
+referenced by the sequence if needed:
+
+  struct power_seq *power_seq_build(struct device *dev, struct list_head *ress,
+                                    struct platform_power_seq *pseq);
+
+The 'dev' argument is the device in the name of which the resources are to be
+allocated.
+
+The 'ress' argument is a list to which the resolved resources are appended. This
+avoids allocating a resource referenced in several power sequences multiple
+times.
+
+On success, the function returns a devm allocated resolved sequence that is
+ready to be passed to power_seq_run(). In case of failure, and error code is
+returned.
+
+A resolved power sequence returned by power_seq_build can be run by
+power_run_run():
+
+  int power_seq_run(power_seq *seq);
+
+It returns 0 if the sequence has successfully been run, or an error code if a
+problem occured.
+
+There is no need to explicitly free the resources used by the sequence as they
+are devm-allocated.
