The patch
regulator: Deprecate regulator_can_change_voltage()
has been applied to the regulator tree at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git
All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.
Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] regulator: Deprecate regulator_can_change_voltage()
All current users of regulator_can_change_voltage() are abusing it,
using it to wrap a call to regulator_set_voltage() on probe without any
alternative handling for fixed voltages. Drivers should only be using
regulator_set_voltage() if they need to vary voltages at runtime, fixed
voltages should normally be set via machine constraints, and calling
regulator_set_voltage() on a regulator which can't be varied will
succeed if the current voltage is within the range requested so users
shouldn't worry if they have permission to vary normally.
Deprecate the API to try to stop any new users appearing while we fix
the current callers.
