No patch quite yet - the basic idea is that for plain regulator_get()
you'll only ever get -EPROBE_DEFER as an error, not -ENODEV.  If the
regulator is missing in the DT we assume it's there and provide a dummy
if the DT doesn't hook it up.  If the consumer genuinely wants to see if
a supply might not be wired up it should use regulator_get_optional()
which is in -next at the minute.
