From: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d4f9b5428b53dd67f49ee8deed8d4366ed6b1933 ] WM8994 chip has built-in regulators, which might be used for chip operation. They are controlled by a separate wm8994-regulator driver, which should be loaded before this driver calls regulator_get(), because that driver also provides consumer-supply mapping for the them. If that driver is not yet loaded, regulator core substitute them with dummy regulator, what breaks chip operation, because the built-in regulators are never enabled. Fix this by annotating this driver with MODULE_SOFTDEP() "pre" dependency to "wm8994_regulator" module.
