Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] regulator: core: move supply check earlier in set_machine_constraints()
Date: Fri, 09 Jan 2026 08:38:39 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260109-regulators-defer-v2-3-1a25dc968e60@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260109-regulators-defer-v2-0-1a25dc968e60@linaro.org>

Since commit 98e48cd9283d ("regulator: core: resolve supply for
boot-on/always-on regulators"), set_machine_constraints() can return
-EPROBE_DEFER very late, after it has done a lot of work and
configuration of the regulator.

This means that configuration will happen multiple times for no
benefit in that case. Furthermore, this can lead to timing-dependent
voltage glitches as mentioned e.g. in commit 8a866d527ac0 ("regulator:
core: Resolve supply name earlier to prevent double-init").

We can know that it's going to fail very early, in particular before
going through the complete regulator configuration by moving some code
around a little.

Do so to avoid re-configuring the regulator multiple times, also
avoiding the voltage glitches if we can.

Fixes: 98e48cd9283d ("regulator: core: resolve supply for boot-on/always-on regulators")
