Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 115/144] can: flexcan: Deferred on Regulator return EPROBE_DEFER

3.16.7-ckt10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andreas Werner <kernel@...y89.org>

commit 555828ef45f825d6ee06559f0304163550eed380 upstream.

Return EPROBE_DEFER if Regulator returns EPROBE_DEFER

If the Flexcan driver is built into kernel and a regulator is used to
enable the CAN transceiver, the Flexcan driver may not use the regulator.

When initializing the Flexcan device with a regulator defined in the device
tree, but not initialized, the regulator subsystem returns EPROBE_DEFER, hence
the Flexcan init fails.

The solution for this is to return EPROBE_DEFER if regulator is not initialized
and wait until the regulator is initialized.
