Board breakage due to upstream patch

[Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>]

Hi Mark,

Your patch "regulator: Support driver probe deferral" (below) prevents my Snowball Development Board from booting.

What's the correct thing to do?

    regulator: Support driver probe deferral
    
    If we fail to locate a requested regulator return -EPROBE_DEFER. If drivers
    pass this error code through to their caller (which they really should)
    then this will ensure that the probe is retried later when further devices
    become available.  In the unusual case where a driver doesn't want this
    it can override the default behaviour.
