A few regulator consumer drivers seem to be just getting a regulator,
enabling it and registering a devm-action to disable the regulator at
the driver detach and then forget about it.

We can simplify this a bit by adding a devm-helper for this pattern.
Add devm_regulator_get_enable() and devm_regulator_get_enable_optional()

Not sure:
- why this is in the commit message
- what it points to, since
$ git show b6058e052b842a19c8bb639798d8692cd0e7589f
fatal: bad object b6058e052b842a19c8bb639798d8692cd0e7589f

These are now upstream in Linus' tree and in my testing branch.
I'd not normally advocate working on top of that (because I rebase it), but
if it is useful for this series go ahead.

Thanks for the explanation :)

This series will conflict with my fixup series for triggered-buffer attributes. Hence I though I might combine these two series into one if I need to respin the fixup series. I thought of using the v6.1-rc1 when it is out. (I think the 6.1-rc1 should not be that far away)

OTOH, I just read your another mail which told that there will be one more driver which will conflict with the fixup coming in during this cycle. If that driver lands in your tree before the fix - then I guess I need to rebase the fixup series (and maybe this too) on top of your tree + add conversion of this new driver. I don't think that would be the testing branch though(?)

Yours
