The regulator always on with high power mode if info->cfg->hwreq is set.I prefer to have info->update_val updated to reflect requested mode (in get_mode) instead of returning -EINVAL. This is how I interpret Mark's comment on the other patch ([PATCH] regulator: ab8500: Fix get_mode for shared mode regulators).Otherwise, the patch should work fine.
If we allow set idle mode when info->cfg->hwreq is set, get_mode() returns
REGULATOR_MODE_IDLE but the regulator actually is in REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL mode.
This patch avoid inconsistent status return by get_mode().
