regulator: core: Propagate voltage changes to supply regulators
Until now changing the voltage of a regulator only ever effected the regulator itself, but never its supplies. It's a common pattern though to put LDO regulators behind switching regulators. The switching regulators efficiently drop the input voltage but have a high ripple on their output. The output is then cleaned up by the LDOs. For higher energy efficiency the voltage drop at the LDOs should be minimized. For this scenario we need to propagate the voltage change to the supply regulators. Another scenario where voltage propagation is desired is a regulator which only consists of a switch and thus cannot regulate voltages itself. In this case we can pass setting voltages to the supply. This patch adds support for voltage propagation. We do voltage propagation when the current regulator has a minimum dropout voltage specified or if the current regulator lacks a get_voltage operation (indicating it's a switch and not a regulator). Changing the supply voltage must be done carefully. When we are increasing the current regulators output we must first increase the supply voltage and then the regulator itself. When we are decreasing the current regulators voltage we must decrease the supply voltage after changing the current regulators voltage.
