Subject[RESEND PATCH] regulator: core: Disable unused regulators after deferred probing is done
Date
From: Saravana Kannan <skannan@codeaurora.org>

regulator_init_complete does a scan of regulators which dont have
always-on or consumers are automatically disabled as being unused.
However, with deferred probing, late_initcall() is too soon to
declare a regulator as unused as the regulator itself might not
have registered due to defferal - Example: A regulator deffered due
to i2bus not available which in turn is deffered due to pinctrl
availability.

Since deferred probing is done in late_initcall(), do the cleanup of
unused regulators by regulator_init_complete in late_initcall_sync
instead of late_initcall.

Original post: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2545061/

I rediscovered this patch many times now :(:
Latest Example: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4044811/
http://slexy.org/raw/s21MCHgeJo shows none of the unused regulators are disabled
and with this fix:
http://slexy.org/raw/s2TH36cThR (which auto disables unused regulators).

Ccying Markus as author of 66fda75f47dc (regulator: core: Replace
direct ops->disable usage) he might be interested as well.

Btw, this might open up a lot of broken boards - like we discovered
for DRA7 - so it might be a good idea for next instead of current rc
cyle giving it some time to cook and get platforms fixed.
