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".

Inside function max8907_regulator_probe(), variable val could
be uninitialized if regmap_read() fails. However, val is used
later in the if statement to decide the content written to
"pmic", which is potentially unsafe.

These of_node_get() were added to balance refcount decrements inside of
of_find_node_by_name().
See: commit c92f5dd2c42f ("regulator: Add missing of_node_put()")

However of_find_node_by_name() was then replaced by of_get_child_by_name(),
which doesn't call of_node_put() against its input parameter.

So, need to remove these unnecessary of_node_get() calls.
