Subject: [patch 2.6.28-rc7] regulator: init/link earlier
From: David Brownell <dbrownell@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Move regulator earlier in link sequence.
The regulator core currently initializes as a core_initcall() to be
available early ... but then it links way late, throwing away that
benefit, so regulators available at e.g. subsys_initcall() are not
available to subsystems which need to use them.
Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@...rs.sourceforge.net>

It's not clear "how early" to be; this works.
