regulators enabled at boot and also print error messages at boot.

[Bryan Wu]

When kernel boots, it will prints out some regulator error message.

[Bryan Wu (cooloney)]

Paul and Tobin,

I cherry-picked 4 patches from Freescale git tree for this regulator fixing:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=roc/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/regulator

And please find my kernel package here for testing.
people.canonical.com/~roc/kernel/regulator/

NOTE, I tried this kernel on my BB2.5 board when I was in SFO. After installed it, the system cannot boot now even the redboot bootloader. It looks like some HW issue, since my kernel is just a software. Please try this kernel carefully.

Thank you very much,
-Bryan

The incomplete constraints messages are gone now, replaced by messages saying they are getting disabled instead.

Paul,

Thanks a lot, this information is really helpful.

The disabling messages should be right according to the driver code. Only one issue is
"regulator: Unable to get requested regulator: VDDD"

I think I fixed this in a new patch:
kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=roc/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/regulator

And the testing kernel is here:
people.canonical.com/~roc/kernel/regulator/

Please help me to test again.

This looks ok to me. Here's my dmesg output:

Accepted linux-fsl-imx51 into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Tobin Davis (gruemaster)]

Fix verified. No erroneous kernel messages during boot.
