SMPS10 has two outputs OUT1 and OUT2 and have one input IN1.
SMPS10-OUT2 is connected to SMPS10-IN1 and can be configured either
in BOOST mode or BYPASS mode. regulator_enable of SMPS10-OUT2 configures
it in BOOST mode. For BYPASS mode regulator_allow_bypass() API can be
used. SMPS10-OUT1 is connected to SMPS10-OUT2 and can be enabled using
regulator_enable().

This sequence can create regulator to be never register.
In probe, we register regulator from 0 to max_id.
Here smps10-out1 comes first and see the supply as smps10-out2 which is not
registered yet and so will fail with PROBE_DEFER
When again it tries, the same issue.
hmm.. But I was able to get (regulator_get) *SMPS10_OUT1* without any issue
during my testing. From looking at the code, I couldn't see *sname* being used
anywhere.

We used the sname as
pmic->desc[id].supply_name = palmas_regs_info[id].sname;

However, how you have populated your dt?
Have you added like
smps10-out2-supply = <&SMPS10_OUT2>

for the palmas regualtor -dt.
