[PATCH v5] regulator: core: Resolve supply name earlier to prevent double-init

[Christian Kohlschütter]

Previously, an unresolved regulator supply reference upon calling
regulator_register on an always-on or boot-on regulator caused
set_machine_constraints to be called twice.

This in turn may initialize the regulator twice, leading to voltage
glitches that are timing-dependent. A simple, unrelated configuration
change may be enough to hide this problem, only to be surfaced by
chance.

One such example is the SD-Card voltage regulator in a NanoPI R4S that
would not initialize reliably unless the registration flow was just
complex enough to allow the regulator to properly reset between calls.

Fix this by re-arranging regulator_register, trying resolve the
regulator's supply early enough that set_machine_constraints does not
need to be called twice.
