    regulator: core: Support bypass mode · f59c8f9f
    Mark Brown authored
    Many regulators support a bypass mode where they simply switch their
    input supply to the output. This is mainly used in low power retention
    states where power consumption is extremely low so higher voltage or
    less clean supplies can be used.
    
    Support this by providing ops for the drivers and a consumer API which
    allows the device to be put into bypass mode if all consumers enable it
    and the machine enables permission for this.
    
    This is not supported as a mode since the existing modes are rarely used
    due to fuzzy definition and mostly redundant with modern hardware which is
    able to respond promptly to load changes.
