Subject: Applied "regulator: core: enable power when setting up constraints" to the regulator tree

The patch

   regulator: core: enable power when setting up constraints

has been applied to the regulator tree at

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] regulator: core: enable power when setting up constraints

When a regulator is marked as always on, it is enabled early on, when
checking and setting up constraints. It makes the assumption that the
bootloader properly initialized the regulator, and just in case enables
the regulator anyway.

Some constraints however currently get missed, such as the soft-start
and ramp-delay. This causes the regulator to be enabled, without the
soft-start and ramp-delay being applied, which in turn can cause
high-currents or other start-up problems.

By moving the always-enabled constraints later in the constraints check,
we can at least ensure all constraints for the regulator are followed.
