Probing of regulators can be a slow operation and can contribute to
slower boot times. This is especially true if a regulator is turned on
at probe time (with regulator-boot-on or regulator-always-on) and the
regulator requires delays (off-on-time, ramp time, etc).
While the overall kernel is not ready to switch to async probe by
default, as per the discussion on the mailing lists [1] it is believed
that the regulator subsystem is in good shape and we can move
regulator drivers over wholesale. There is no way to just magically
opt in all regulators (regulators are just normal drivers like
platform_driver), so we set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS for all
regulators found in 'drivers/regulator' individually.
Given the number of drivers touched and the impossibility to test this
ahead of time, it wouldn't be shocking at all if this caused a
regression for someone. If there is a regression caused by this patch,
it's likely to be one of the cases talked about in [1]. As a "quick
fix", drivers involved in the regression could be fixed by changing
them to PROBE_FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS. That being said, the correct fix
would be to directly fix the problem that caused the issue with async
probe.
The approach here follows a similar approach that was used for the mmc
subsystem several years ago [2]. In fact, I ran nearly the same python
script to auto-generate the changes. The only thing I changed was to
search for "i2c_driver", "spmi_driver", and "spi_driver" in addition
to "platform_driver".

The only usage of stw481x_vmmc_ops is to assign its address to the ops
field in the regulator_desc struct which is a const pointer.
The only usage of vmmc_regulator is to pass its address to
of_get_regulator_init_data() and devm_regulator_register(), both which
take const pointers.
Make both of them const to allow the compiler to put them in read-only
memory.

The regulator has never been properly enabled, it has been
dormant all the time. It's strange that MMC was working
at all, but it likely worked by the signals going through
the levelshifter and reaching the card anyways.

The mutex lock is not used at all, remove it.
The *vmmc_regulator is not necessary, use a local variable in

Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.
They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just
removing a line in a structure.
Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There are
some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been acked by
the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs changes.
Everything has been in linux-next for a while.

The of_get_regulator_init_data() function is used to extract the regulator
init_data but information on how to extract certain data is defined in the
static regulator descriptor (e.g: how to map the hardware operating modes).
Add a const struct regulator_desc * parameter to the function signature so
the parsing logic could use the information in the struct regulator_desc.
of_get_regulator_init_data() relies on of_get_regulation_constraints() to
actually extract the init_data so it has to pass the struct regulator_desc
but that is modified on a later patch.
