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".

Static struct regulator_ops is not modified so can be made const for

Declare regulator_ops structure as const as it is only stored in the ops
field of a regulator_desc structure. This field is of type const, so
regulator_ops structures having this property can be made const too.

Most Maxim PMIC regulator drivers are for sub-devices of Multi-Function
Devices with drivers under drivers/mfd. But for many of these, the same
object file name was used for both the MFD and the regulator drivers.
Having 2 different drivers with the same name causes a lot of confusion
to Kbuild, specially if these are built as module since only one module
will be installed and also exported symbols will be undefined due being
overwritten by the other module during modpost.
For example, it fixes the following issue when both drivers are module:
$ make M=drivers/regulator/
...
CC [M] drivers/regulator//max14577.o
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 1 modules
WARNING: "maxim_charger_calc_reg_current" [drivers/regulator//max14577.ko] undefined!
WARNING: "maxim_charger_currents" [drivers/regulator//max14577.ko] undefined!
