From: Mark Brown broonie@linaro.org
When a system has said that it has fully specified constraints for its regulators it is still possible that some supplies may be missing, especially if regulator support has been added to a driver after the board was integrated. We can handle such situations more gracefully by providing a dummy regulator.
Unless the caller has specifically indicated that the system design may not include a given regulator by using regulator_get_optional() or that it needs its interactions to have an effect using regulator_get_exclusive() provide a dummy regulator if we can't locate a real one.
The kconfig option REGULATOR_DUMMY that provided similar behaviour for all regulators has been removed, systems that need it should flag that they have full constraints instead. Some more thought is needed for a more elegant way of handling non-DT systems.
