    Commit 6261b06d ("regulator: Defer lookup of supply to regulator_get")
    moved the regulator supplies lookup logic from the regulators registration
    to the regulators get time.
    
    Unfortunately, that changed the behavior of the regulator core since now a
    parent supply with a child regulator marked as always-on, won't be enabled
    unless a client driver attempts to get the child regulator during boot.
    
    This patch tries to resolve the parent supply for the already registered
    regulators each time that a new regulator is registered. So the regulators
    that have child regulators marked as always on will be enabled regardless
    if a driver gets the child regulator or not.
    
    That was the behavior before the mentioned commit, since parent supplies
    were looked up at regulator registration time instead of during child get.
    
    Since regulator_resolve_supply() checks for rdev->supply, most of the times
    it will be a no-op. Errors aren't checked to keep the possible out of order
    dependencies which was the motivation for the mentioned commit.
    
    Also, the supply being available will be enforced on regulator get anyways
    in case the resolve fails on regulators registration.
