[PATCH v5 1/5] regulator: Copy config passed during registration

Krzysztof Kozlowski k.kozlowski at samsung.com
Mon Jan 5 03:48:41 PST 2015


Copy the 'regulator_config' structure passed to regulator_register()
function so the driver could safely modify it after parsing init data.

The driver may want to change the config as a result of specific init
data parsed by regulator core (e.g. when core handled parsing device
tree).
