Subject: [patch 2.6.28-rc7] regulator: catch some registration errors

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Prevent registration of duplicate "struct regulator" names.
They'd be unavailable, and clearly indicate something wrong.

Also make sure the consumer device is provided.  It's nonsensical
to omit these, and not a documented part of the interface.  Since
no code in mainline does such stuff, this is just anti-oops medicine.
