From: Mark Brown Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2012 13:07:56 +0000 (+0000) Subject: regulator: Support driver probe deferral X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=04bf30115f4ba2beda1efb6cfbae49cdc757f3a9;p=linux-beck.git regulator: Support driver probe deferral If we fail to locate a requested regulator return -EPROBE_DEFER. If drivers pass this error code through to their caller (which they really should) then this will ensure that the probe is retried later when further devices become available. In the unusual case where a driver doesn't want this it can override the default behaviour.
