+==========================
+Regulator Driver Interface
+==========================
+
+The regulator driver interface is relatively simple and designed to allow
+regulator drivers to register their services with the core framework.
+
+
+Registration
+============
+
+Drivers can register a regulator by calling::
+
+  struct regulator_dev *regulator_register(struct regulator_desc *regulator_desc,
+					   const struct regulator_config *config);
+
+This will register the regulator's capabilities and operations to the regulator
+core.
+
+Regulators can be unregistered by calling::
+
+  void regulator_unregister(struct regulator_dev *rdev);
+
+
+Regulator Events
+================
+
+Regulators can send events (e.g. overtemperature, undervoltage, etc) to
+consumer drivers by calling::
+
+  int regulator_notifier_call_chain(struct regulator_dev *rdev,
+				    unsigned long event, void *data);
