+Binding for Maxim MAX77686 regulators
+
+This is a part of the device tree bindings of MAX77686 multi-function device.
+More information can be found in bindings/mfd/max77686.txt file.
+
+The MAX77686 PMIC has 9 high-efficiency Buck and 26 Low-dropout (LDO)
+regulators that can be controlled over I2C.
+
+Following properties should be present in main device node of the MFD chip.
+
+Optional node:
+- voltage-regulators : The regulators of max77686 have to be instantiated
+  under subnode named "voltage-regulators" using the following format.
+
+	regulator_name {
+		regulator-compatible = LDOn/BUCKn
+		standard regulator constraints....

+to get matched with their hardware counterparts as follow:
+
+	-LDOn 	:	for LDOs, where n can lie in range 1 to 26.
+			example: LDO1, LDO2, LDO26.
+	-BUCKn 	:	for BUCKs, where n can lie in range 1 to 9.
