[PATCH 3/5] regulator: Support driver probe deferral

[G, Manjunath Kondaiah]

From: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
