[RFC 1/5] regulator: core: Get voltage from parent if not available

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

Load switches are modeled as regulators but they just provide
the voltage of their parent input supply. So the drivers for
these switches usually don't provide a .get_voltage function
handler but there is code in the kernel that assumes that all
regulators should be able to provide its current voltage rail.

So, if the output voltage for a regulator is not available and
it has a parent supply, then pass the voltage of its parent.
