[PATCH 2/2] regulator: core: Error on not always_on dummy regulators

[Markus Pargmann]

It does not make sense to have dummy/fixed regulators that are not
always_on. This patch adds a check in the set_machine_constraints
function for this case and returns -EINVAL if such a regulator is
registered.

This also removes the return -EINVAL from _regulator_do_enable() if the
regulator can not be enabled.
