Probing of regulators can be a slow operation and can contribute to
slower boot times. This is especially true if a regulator is turned on
at probe time (with regulator-boot-on or regulator-always-on) and the
regulator requires delays (off-on-time, ramp time, etc).
While the overall kernel is not ready to switch to async probe by
default, as per the discussion on the mailing lists [1] it is believed
that the regulator subsystem is in good shape and we can move
regulator drivers over wholesale. There is no way to just magically
opt in all regulators (regulators are just normal drivers like
platform_driver), so we set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS for all
regulators found in 'drivers/regulator' individually.
Given the number of drivers touched and the impossibility to test this
ahead of time, it wouldn't be shocking at all if this caused a
regression for someone. If there is a regression caused by this patch,
it's likely to be one of the cases talked about in [1]. As a "quick
fix", drivers involved in the regression could be fixed by changing
them to PROBE_FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS. That being said, the correct fix
would be to directly fix the problem that caused the issue with async
probe.
The approach here follows a similar approach that was used for the mmc
subsystem several years ago [2]. In fact, I ran nearly the same python
script to auto-generate the changes. The only thing I changed was to
search for "i2c_driver", "spmi_driver", and "spi_driver" in addition
to "platform_driver".

debugfs code complained at boot time that
debugfs: Directory 'reg-dummy-regulator-dummy' with parent 'regulator'
already present!
if we compile kernel with DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE. The problem is that we
don't provide .remove() method for dummy_regulator_driver, which should
invoke regulator_unregister() on device teardown to properly free things.
Though it's harmless as dummy_pdev never gets unbound in practice, let's
use devm_regulator_register() to get rid of the inconsistency.

The only usage of dummy_initdata is to assign its address to the
init_data field of the regulator_config struct and the only usage
dummy_ops is to assign its address to the ops field in the
regulator_desc struct, both which are const pointers. Make them const to
allow the compiler to put them in read-only memory.

Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.
They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just
removing a line in a structure.
Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There are
some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been acked by
the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs changes.
Everything has been in linux-next for a while.

Rather than adding new arguments to regulator_register() every time we
want to add a new bit of dynamic information at runtime change the function
to take these via a struct. By doing this we avoid needing to do further
changes like the recent addition of device tree support which required each
regulator driver to be updated to take an additional parameter.
The regulator_desc which should (mostly) be static data is still passed
separately as most drivers are able to configure this statically at build
time.

With device tree support for regulators, its needed that the
regulator_dev->dev device has the right of_node attached.
To be able to do this add an additional parameter to the
regulator_register() api, wherein the dt-adapted driver can
then pass this additional info onto the regulator core.

Recent changes in the driver core appear to mean that the data structures
for the driver core are not fully initialised unless the driver is bound.

In order to ease transitions with drivers are boards start using regulators
provide an option to cause all regulator_get() calls to succeed, with a
dummy always on regulator being supplied where one has not been configured.
A warning is printed whenever the dummy regulator is used to aid system
development.
This regulator does not implement any regulator operations but will allow
simple consumers which only do enable() and disable() calls to run. It
is kept separate from the fixed voltage regulator to avoid Kconfig
confusion on the part of users when it is extended to allow boards to
explicitly use the dummy regulator to simplify cases where the majority
of supplies are from fixed regulators without software control.
This option is currently only effective for systems which do not specify
full constriants. If required an override could also be provided to allow
these systems to use the dummy regulator, though it is likely that
unconfigured supplies on such systems will lead to error due to
regulators being powered down more aggressively when not in use.
