Enabling bypass mode makes a regulator passthrough the supply voltage directly. It is possible that the supply voltage is set high enough that it violates machine constraints so let's check for that. The supply voltage might be higher because of min_dropout_uV or maybe there is just an unrelated consumer who requested a higher voltage.
I would expect that if bypass is enabled then the constraints on the parent regulator would be set appropriately to support this, I wouldn't expect that we'd try to apply the operating constraints of the regulator to the supply. Usually bypass is used for low power retention modes with different settings to those used in normal operation that wouldn't be desired in normal operation, if we were going to have constraints for this I'd expect a separate set used during bypass. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
