+Introduction
+------------
This is an introduction to driver-model multi uclass PMIC IC's support.
At present it's based on two uclass types:
-- UCLASS_PMIC - basic uclass type for PMIC I/O, which provides common
- read/write interface.
-- UCLASS_REGULATOR - additional uclass type for specific PMIC features,
- which are Voltage/Current regulators.

+-----------------
The Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMIC) are used in embedded systems
to provide stable, precise and specific voltage power source with over-voltage
and thermal protection circuits.
The single PMIC can provide various functions by single or multiple interfaces,
