[PATCH 0/2] regulator: core: always_on fixups

[PATCH 0/2] regulator: core: always_on fixups

[Markus Pargmann]

Hi,

The second patch adds a check for dummy regulators that are not always_on. The
first patch adds a always_on constraint to the dummy regulator.

Regards,

Markus

[PATCH 1/2] regulator: dummy: Should be always-on

[Markus Pargmann]

Regulator dummy does not have any enable operations. So it is always_on.

[PATCH 2/2] regulator: core: Error on not always_on dummy regulators

[Markus Pargmann]

It does not make sense to have dummy/fixed regulators that are not
always_on. This patch adds a check in the set_machine_constraints
function for this case and returns -EINVAL if such a regulator is
registered.

This also removes the return -EINVAL from _regulator_do_enable() if the
regulator can not be enabled.

Such a regulator isn't going to be useful in a system but that doesn't
mean that they shouldn't be registerable since that allows people to
look at their state.  For example a device might have some GPIO managed
regulators where the GPIO is tied low if the regulator isn't in use in
the system.

Applied, thanks.
