Hi,

These two patches replace all ops->enable/disable by
_regulator_do_disable/enable function calls. These wrappers also handle gpio
regulators.
Applied both, thanks.
With these two patches applied I get the following error on
mx6qsabresd running today's linux-next:

Reverting these two patches the regulators probe successfully.

Any ideas?
Thanks, I just searched for the reason and found it. My patches do not
handle dummy regulators correctly:

_regulator_do_enable() line 1764:
        if (rdev->ena_pin) {
                ret = regulator_ena_gpio_ctrl(rdev, true);
                if (ret < 0)
                        return ret;
                rdev->ena_gpio_state = 1;
        } else if (rdev->desc->ops->enable) {
                ret = rdev->desc->ops->enable(rdev);
                if (ret < 0)
                        return ret;
        } else {
                return -EINVAL;
        }

The only situation where this returns -EINVAL is a dummy regulator that
is not always_on. As it doesn't make sense to have a dummy regulator
that is not always_on, I will add a check for exactly this situation to
the regulator_register function and drop the "return -EINVAL" above.

Regards,

Markus
