[PATCH 4.4 46/99] regulator: Try to resolve regulators supplies on registration

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5e3ca2b349b1e2c80b060b51bbf2af37448fad85 upstream.

Commit 6261b06de565 ("regulator: Defer lookup of supply to regulator_get")
moved the regulator supplies lookup logic from the regulators registration
to the regulators get time.

Unfortunately, that changed the behavior of the regulator core since now a
parent supply with a child regulator marked as always-on, won't be enabled
unless a client driver attempts to get the child regulator during boot.

This patch tries to resolve the parent supply for the already registered
regulators each time that a new regulator is registered. So the regulators
that have child regulators marked as always on will be enabled regardless
if a driver gets the child regulator or not.

That was the behavior before the mentioned commit, since parent supplies
were looked up at regulator registration time instead of during child get.

Since regulator_resolve_supply() checks for rdev->supply, most of the times
it will be a no-op. Errors aren't checked to keep the possible out of order
dependencies which was the motivation for the mentioned commit.

Also, the supply being available will be enforced on regulator get anyways
in case the resolve fails on regulators registration.
