Subject: [PATCH v2] regulator: fixed: support deferred probe for DT GPIOs

From: Stephen Warren <swarren@...dia.com>

of_get_named_gpio() needs the driver hosting the GPIO that the DT
property references to have been probed. Detect this specific failure,
and defer the probe of the whole regulator until this API can complete.

Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@...dia.com>

v2: Simplify the patch by returning ERR_PTR()s instead of a separate
defer_probe value.
