I'm reviving this thread as I've been investigating a bug that appears
related to this patch.

Symptom: with a v6.8-rc5 kernel, if PLL fails locking, later on during
atomic disable I get:

The reason is clear from the code flow, which looks like this (after
removing unrelated code):

static void sn65dsi83_atomic_pre_enable(struct drm_bridge *bridge,
                                        struct drm_bridge_state *old_bridge_state)
{
        regulator_enable(ctx->vcc);

        if (PLL failed locking) {
                regulator_disable(ctx->vcc);
                return;
        }
}

static void sn65dsi83_atomic_disable(struct drm_bridge *bridge,
                                     struct drm_bridge_state *old_bridge_state)
{
        regulator_disable(ctx->vcc);
}

So when the PLL fails locking, the vcc regulator is disable twice,
leading to "unbalanced disables".

I initially removed the regulator_disable() line in sn65dsi83_atomic_pre_enable()
locally and it worked fine. Then I did some git log and found you added this line on
purpose (even though it was in sn65dsi83_atomic_enable() initially), so my question
is whether you can explain exactly what was wrong before your patch. I have been
working for a few weeks with the regulator_disable() line removed and found no issue.

Best regards,
Luca
