Subject: regulator: Fix regulator_summary for deviceless consumers

From: Leonard Crestez <[email protected]>

commit e42a46b6f52473661ad192f76a128a68fe301df4 upstream.

It is allowed to call regulator_get with a NULL dev argument (_regulator_get explicitly checks for it) but this causes an error later when printing /sys/kernel/debug/regulator_summary.

Fix this by explicitly handling "deviceless" consumers in the debugfs code.
