    regulator: core: Resolve supplies before disabling unused regulators · 3827b64d

    After commit 66d228a2 ("regulator: core: Don't use regulators as
    supplies until the parent is bound"), input supplies aren't resolved
    if the input supplies parent device has not been bound. This prevent
    regulators to hold an invalid reference if its supply parent device
    driver probe is deferred.
    
    But this causes issues on some boards where a PMIC's regulator use as
    input supply a regulator from another PMIC whose driver is registered
    after the driver for the former.
    
    In this case the regulators for the first PMIC will fail to resolve
    input supplies on regulators registration (since the other PMIC wasn't
    probed yet). And when the core attempts to resolve again latter when
    the other PMIC registers its own regulators, it will fail again since
    the parent device isn't bound yet.
    
    This will cause some parent supplies to never be resolved and wrongly
    be disabled on boot due taking them as unused.
    
    To solve this problem, also attempt to resolve the pending regulators
    input supplies before disabling the unused regulators.
