Hi,
The following patch allows it for boards to register a dummy supply for devices for which no software controllable regulator is available. The current CONFIG_REGULATOR_DUMMY and (unused) regulator_use_dummy_regulator() mechanisms only allow to provide a dummy regulator for *all* devices for which no regulator is found. This would shadow real errors and thus is not really an option for production kernels.
This patch may eventually superseed the current all-or-nothing approach.
This came to me while looking over Linus' smsc911x regulator support patch and so I added all people affected by this patch to Cc.
Sascha
