Ahmad Fatoum b15388a2f0 regulator: allow user configuration of hardware protection action
When the core detects permanent regulator hardware failure or imminent
power failure of a critical supply, it will call hw_protection_shutdown in
an attempt to do a limited orderly shutdown followed by powering off the
system.

This doesn't work out well for many unattended embedded systems that don't
have support for shutdown and that power on automatically when power is
supplied:

  - A brief power cycle gets detected by the driver
  - The kernel powers down the system and SoC goes into shutdown mode
  - Power is restored
  - The system remains oblivious to the restored power
  - System needs to be manually power cycled for a duration long enough
    to drain the capacitors

Allow users to fix this by calling the newly introduced
hw_protection_trigger() instead: This way the hw_protection commandline or
sysfs parameter is used to dictate the policy of dealing with the
regulator fault.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
