Regulator probe

[Andy Shevchenko]

Hi!

I have found an issue which I have no idea how to solve properly.
Let's look at the details.

The platform I'm working on (Intel Edison) has the following devices:

Pin control (registered in platform code)
GPIO (PCI device)
SDHCI (PCI device)
WiFi card (SDIO connected to SDHCI)
Regulator for WiFi card (registered in platform code, enumerated via SFI
notifier)

In the kernel configuration
CONFIG_PINCTRL_MERRIFIELD=y
CONFIG_GPIO_MERRIFIELD=y
CONFIG_SDHCI_PCI=y
CONFIG_REGULATOR=y

(All intermediate dependencies also built-in)

Platform has setting
	regulator_has_full_constraints();

During the boot I got the following:

#1

[ÂÂÂÂ0.286099] callingÂÂintel_mid_platform_init+0x0/0x36 @ 1
[ÂÂÂÂ0.290348] Using generic wifi platform data

Regulator for WiFi and pin control are registered.

Pin control is initialized.

Obviously GPIO device isn't probed yet.

^^^^^ PROBLEM!

Regulator is present, though it's in a waiting list.

^^^^^ Too late

[ÂÂÂ27.479039] callingÂÂregulator_init_complete+0x0/0x30 @ 1
[ÂÂÂ27.479048] bcm43xx-vmmc-regulator: disabling


So, my understanding that inÂ_regulator_get() we have to try probe
deferred regulators once again. But I have no idea how to fix this
properly.

P.S. Of course everything works in case of CONFIG_SDHCI=m, but it's
looks like not a (proper?) solution.
