regulator: dt-bindings: Add 'regulator-uv-less-critical-window-ms' property
Introduces a new devicetree property to specifies the time window (in milliseconds) following a critical under-voltage (UV) event during which less critical actions can be safely carried out by the system. Less Critical Actions: - Logging the under-voltage event for later analysis. - Saving less critical data that may be useful for diagnosing issues or for audit purposes. More Critical Actions (post the less critical window): - Initiating procedures to properly shutdown hardware to prevent damage. The 'regulator-uv-less-critical-window-ms' property is crucial for conveying board-specific hardware characteristics, not for enforcing a certain policy. The time window represented by this property is derived from the physical attributes of the hardware like the capacity of on-board capacitors, the power consumption of the components, and the time needed to safely shut down hardware to prevent damage. These attributes can significantly vary between different boards, making it a board-specific property rather than a policy directive. By providing a precise representation of the time available for less critical actions post an under-voltage event, this property enables the kernel to make informed decisions on action prioritization, ensuring that essential preventative measures are taken to avoid hardware damage while also allowing for data capture and analysis.
