Probing of regulators can be a slow operation and can contribute to
slower boot times. This is especially true if a regulator is turned on
at probe time (with regulator-boot-on or regulator-always-on) and the
regulator requires delays (off-on-time, ramp time, etc).
While the overall kernel is not ready to switch to async probe by
default, as per the discussion on the mailing lists [1] it is believed
that the regulator subsystem is in good shape and we can move
regulator drivers over wholesale. There is no way to just magically
opt in all regulators (regulators are just normal drivers like
platform_driver), so we set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS for all
regulators found in 'drivers/regulator' individually.
Given the number of drivers touched and the impossibility to test this
ahead of time, it wouldn't be shocking at all if this caused a
regression for someone. If there is a regression caused by this patch,
it's likely to be one of the cases talked about in [1]. As a "quick
fix", drivers involved in the regression could be fixed by changing
them to PROBE_FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS. That being said, the correct fix
would be to directly fix the problem that caused the issue with async
probe.
The approach here follows a similar approach that was used for the mmc
subsystem several years ago [2]. In fact, I ran nearly the same python
script to auto-generate the changes. The only thing I changed was to
search for "i2c_driver", "spmi_driver", and "spi_driver" in addition
to "platform_driver".

Tell the regulator framework to retrieve regulator init
data from the 'regulator' subnode, or from the parent mfd
device's platform data.
Example:
i2c0 {
tps61052@33 {
compatible = "ti,tps61052";
reg = <0x33>;
regulator {
regulator-min-microvolt = <5000000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <5000000>;
regulator-always-on;
};
};
};

Since commit 7e50711993 ("mfd: tps6105x: Use i2c regmap to access
registers"), we can use regmap helper functions instead of open coded.

This patch modifies tps6105x and associated function driver to use regmap
instead of operating directly on i2c.

Rather than adding new arguments to regulator_register() every time we
want to add a new bit of dynamic information at runtime change the function
to take these via a struct. By doing this we avoid needing to do further
changes like the recent addition of device tree support which required each
regulator driver to be updated to take an additional parameter.
The regulator_desc which should (mostly) be static data is still passed
separately as most drivers are able to configure this statically at build
time.

With device tree support for regulators, its needed that the
regulator_dev->dev device has the right of_node attached.
To be able to do this add an additional parameter to the
regulator_register() api, wherein the dt-adapted driver can
then pass this additional info onto the regulator core.

With the addition of a platform device mfd_cell pointer, MFD drivers
can go back to passing platform data back to their sub drivers.
This allows for an mfd_cell->mfd_data removal and thus keep the
sub drivers MFD agnostic. This is mostly needed for non MFD aware
sub drivers.
