Subject: regulator: core: Handle probe deferral from DT when resolving supplies

From: Mark Brown <[email protected]>

commit 06423121d9eba0a56b9341cf82b88479017bce14 upstream.

When resolving regulator-regulator supplies we ignore probe deferral returns from regulator_dev_lookup() (such as are generated for DT when we can see a supply is registered) and just fall back to the dummy regulator if there are full constraints (as is the case for DT). This means that probe deferral is broken for DT systems, fix that by paying attention to -EPROBE_DEFER return codes like we do -ENODEV.

A further patch will simplify this further, this is a minimal fix for the specific issue.

Fixes 9f7e25edb1575a6d2 (regulator: core: Handle full constraints systems when resolving supplies)
