[PATCH 2/2] mmc: sdhci: Defer probe if regulator_get fails

The probe will be deferred indefinitely.

Yes. We need to add dummy regulators for boards that power MMC unconditionally. I am not sure if there is any other solution other than using deferred probe that would guarantee regulators availability.

Does this work with boards where we don't have any MMC supplies? Or are we just deferring the probe indefinitely there?

For boards that power MMC unconditionally, are we supposed to add dummy regulators to make them work with this patchset?
