True... I never encountered that case in my testing. I'm not sure
exactly why, though.

I don't think that'll work. regulator_resolve_supply() depends on some
operations performed much later (such as rdev->dev.parent being set).

Perhaps moving the locking of the regulator_list_mutex down instead
could work. It seems to me like the first place where it would need to
be held is set_machine_constraints().

Possibly not. That line was introduced to hook up existing orphan
regulators with their parents when they were registered, but I guess
since we now always defer probe if a parent isn't registered yet the
line would become a no-op.
