From: =?UTF-8?q?Micha=C5=82=20Miros=C5=82aw?= mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 01:20:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] regulator: workaround self-referent regulators MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Workaround regulators whose supply name happens to be the same as its own name. This fixes boards that used to work before the early supply resolving was removed. The error message is left in place so that offending drivers can be detected.
