Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] regulator: Fix regulator_enable deadlock and add uA_load propagation
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 16:52:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1301356355-7546-1-git-send-email-collinsd@codeaurora.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1301326482-6547-1-git-send-email-collinsd@codeaurora.org>

Because the uA_load propagation change takes out a lock on a regulator and
then the regulators that it supplies, it will cause deadlock with the current
regulator_enable implementation.  regulator_disable can also deadlock with
regulator_enable, but it requires two threads and precise timing to observe.
Therefore, regulator_enable must be fixed before current propagation can be
used.

Changes from v1:
	- Renamed _regulator_enable to regulator_dev_enable.
	- Made change logs more verbose.

David Collins (2):
  regulator: Remove possible deadlock from regulator_enable
  regulator: Propagate uA_load requirements up supply chain
