Probing of regulators can be a slow operation and can contribute to
slower boot times. This is especially true if a regulator is turned on
at probe time (with regulator-boot-on or regulator-always-on) and the
regulator requires delays (off-on-time, ramp time, etc).

While the overall kernel is not ready to switch to async probe by
default, as per the discussion on the mailing lists [1] it is believed
that the regulator subsystem is in good shape and we can move
regulator drivers over wholesale. There is no way to just magically
opt in all regulators (regulators are just normal drivers like
platform_driver), so we set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS for all
regulators found in 'drivers/regulator' individually.

Given the number of drivers touched and the impossibility to test this
ahead of time, it wouldn't be shocking at all if this caused a
regression for someone. If there is a regression caused by this patch,
it's likely to be one of the cases talked about in [1]. As a "quick
fix", drivers involved in the regression could be fixed by changing
them to PROBE_FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS. That being said, the correct fix
would be to directly fix the problem that caused the issue with async
probe.

The approach here follows a similar approach that was used for the mmc
subsystem several years ago [2]. In fact, I ran nearly the same python
script to auto-generate the changes. The only thing I changed was to
search for "i2c_driver", "spmi_driver", and "spi_driver" in addition
to "platform_driver".

The platform data header was only used to pass platform
data from board files. We now populate the regulators
exclusively from device tree, so the header contents can
be moved into the regulator drivers.

The struct ab8500_regulator_platform_data was a leftover
since the days before we probed all regulators from the
device tree. The ab8500-ext regulator was the only used,
defining platform data and register intialization that
was never used for anything, a copy of a boardfile no
longer in use.

Delete the ab8500_regulator_platform_data and make the
ab8500-ext regulator reference the regulator init data
in the local file directly. We are 100% device tree
these days.

There is only one instance of ab8500_regulator_platform_data, and it's
safe to assume we won't ever merge another one, so it's rather pointless
to pass it through multiple levels of platform data pointers.

This moves the structure and everything referenced by it into the
driver that uses it.
