Yea, it seems in non-DT that regulator core can not figure out the
-ENODEV case like it does in DT, so it simply returns -EPROBE_DEFER no
matter whether the regulator is absent or it's present but just not
registered yet.  IOW, it can not distinguish between these two cases in
non-DT case.

Neither am I aware of any non-DT SGTL5000 users in the tree, nor I care.
I'm not concerned by this issue.

Anyway, this is another issue which should be addressed in regulator
core, IMO.
