Hi Alan,

I am still seeing lots of the following:

vout0: Failed to create debugfs directory
vout1: Failed to create debugfs directory
vout2: Failed to create debugfs directory
vout3: Failed to create debugfs directory
vout4: Failed to create debugfs directory
vout5: Failed to create debugfs directory
vout6: Failed to create debugfs directory
vout7: Failed to create debugfs directory

I thought there was a problem in the regulator core, but after looking
into it concluded that the regulator core _should_ prepend the names
with the device name when creating the debugfs entries, unless no device
name is specified. So something must be missing. We'll need to sort
this out before I can accept the code.

Thanks,
Guenter
