# regulator\_use\_dummy\_regulator(9)

Provide a dummy regulator when none is found

## NAME

regulator\_use\_dummy\_regulator - Provide a dummy regulator when none is found

## SYNOPSIS

**void regulator\_use\_dummy\_regulator(***void***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*void*

no arguments

## DESCRIPTION

Calling this function will cause the regulator API to provide a dummy regulator to consumers if no physical regulator is found, allowing most consumers to proceed as though a regulator were configured. This allows systems such as those with software controllable regulators for the CPU core only to be brought up more readily.
