[PATCH v4 0/4] regulator: qcom-rpmh: Add support for off-on-delay and debounce-delay

[Jishnu Prakash]

This series adds support for two related delay properties for the Qualcomm
RPMh regulator driver: `regulator-off-on-delay-us` (enforces a minimum
physical off-time before re-enable) and `qcom,regulator-off-debounce-delay-us`
(defers sending a disable request to RPMh so quick disable/enable bounces
never reach the hardware).

Motivation:
On the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x (Snapdragon X Elite), the camera regulators
(LDO1, LDO3, LDO7) have large bulk capacitors and rely on passive discharge.
When these regulators are disabled, the voltage decays very slowly. If
re-enabled too quickly, the sensor experiences a brownout and fails to
initialize. This can be prevented by specifying a minimum off-time.

Separately, some consumers rapidly toggle a regulator off and on again,
for example, a driver that disables its supply on -EPROBE_DEFER and
re-enables it on the next probe attempt. Sending the disable vote to RPMh
immediately in this case causes needless power cycling, so
qcom,regulator-off-debounce-delay-us lets this be deferred and canceled
if a quick re-enable follows.

Changes in v4:
- Taking over upstreaming this series from Saikiran.
- Made the binding change for `regulator-off-on-delay-us` in
  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/regulator.yaml instead of
  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/qcom,rpmh-regulator.yaml,
  as this property seems better suited to be a generic one.
- Added new `qcom,regulator-off-debounce-delay-us` property and driver
  support for deferring the RPMh disable request to implement Mark's
  suggestion.
- Rebased to Linux 7.3-rc5.
- Link to v3: https://patch.msgid.link/20260127190211.14312-1-bjsaikiran@gmail.com

Changes in v3:
- Added Patch 1/2: Update DT bindings to allow `regulator-off-on-delay-us`
  for `qcom,rpmh-regulator` (Requested by Mark Brown).
- Updated Patch 2/2: Refined commit message to explicitly mention the
  passive discharge and bulk capacitor mechanism on the Yoga Slim 7x
  (Requested by Mark Brown).

Changes in v2:
- Moved the motivation/context from the cover letter into the commit
  message of the driver patch.

[PATCH v4 1/4] regulator: dt-bindings: Add 'regulator-off-on-delay-us' property

[Jishnu Prakash]

Add a new property 'regulator-off-on-delay-us' to specify a minimum delay
between disabling and re-enabling a regulator. This is useful in cases
where a regulator discharges slowly and needs significant time to reach a
safe reset level, and re-enabling it too early may lead to a brownout
event.

[PATCH v4 2/4] regulator: qcom-rpmh: Add support for regulator-off-on-delay-us

[Jishnu Prakash]

From: Saikiran <bjsaikiran@gmail.com>

The core regulator framework supports enforcing a physical off-time via
standard properties, but the `qcom-rpmh-regulator` driver currently
ignores them.

The issue is platform-specific: The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x (Snapdragon X
Elite) has large bulk capacitors on the camera rails (LDO1, LDO3, LDO7).
When these regulators are disabled, the voltage decays very slowly
(passive discharge).

If the rail is re-enabled before this discharge completes, the sensor
experiences a brownout and fails to initialize.

Add support for parsing the 'regulator-off-on-delay-us' property from
the device tree to enforce this physical constraint.

[PATCH v4 3/4] regulator: dt-bindings: qcom,rpmh-regulator: Add debounce delay property

[Jishnu Prakash]

Add 'qcom,regulator-off-debounce-delay-us' to describe the time to wait
for an enable vote after a disable vote, before actually sending the
disable request to RPMh.

Some consumers toggle a regulator off and back on in quick succession
as part of their normal operation, a behavior this driver has no
control over. The appropriate debounce window to absorb this varies by
which consumer(s) are wired to a given rail and how they use it, so it
is exposed as a per-regulator property rather than a fixed value.

It is placed in the qcom,rpmh-regulator binding and vendor-prefixed
because the underlying deferred-disable mechanism is specific to this
driver's RPMh command handling.

[PATCH v4 4/4] regulator: qcom-rpmh: Add debounce delay before disabling regulator

[Jishnu Prakash]

Some consumers rapidly toggle a regulator off and back on again, for
example a driver that disables its supply on -EPROBE_DEFER and
re-enables it on the next probe attempt. Sending the disable request
to RPMh immediately in this case causes needless power cycling of the
rail, and in some cases the driver instead avoids calling
regulator_disable() altogether to sidestep this, at the cost of
leaving the regulator enabled and triggering the core's
"unbalanced disables" and late-cleanup warnings.

Add support for a new 'qcom,regulator-off-debounce-delay-us' property.
When set, a disable vote is not sent to RPMh immediately; instead a
cancelable delayed work item is queued to send it after the configured
delay. If an enable vote arrives before the delay expires, the pending
work is canceled and the rail is left untouched, avoiding the
unnecessary disable/enable bounce. If no enable vote arrives, the
disable request is sent once the delay elapses.

This complements the existing 'regulator-off-on-delay-us' handling:
that property enforces a minimum time the rail must stay physically
off before it can be safely re-enabled (a hardware discharge/POR
constraint), whereas this new delay defers sending the disable request
in the first place, absorbing quick bounces before they ever reach the
hardware. The two have no dependency on each other and can be used
together.

The deferred disable work item can run after the regulator has been
registered, so cache the regulator_dev pointer in struct rpmh_vreg and
thread it explicitly through _rpmh_regulator_set_enable_state() rather
than relying on the regulator_dev argument that was previously only
available at the regulator core's enable()/disable() call sites.

regulator: qcom-rpmh: Add debounce delay before disabling regulator

This commit adds a debounce delay to the Qualcomm RPMh regulator driver to
prevent rapid disable/enable cycles. It introduces a delayed work item that
defers sending disable requests to the hardware. A devres action is also
added to cancel the delayed work upon driver removal.

[Severity: High]
Does this worker thread modify the hardware state without holding the
regulator core lock?

The core consumer APIs execute under the regulator_lock. Running
_rpmh_regulator_set_enable_state() here asynchronously might cause a data
race on shared structures like vreg->enabled and vreg->voltage_selector if a
consumer calls regulator_set_voltage() concurrently.

[Severity: High]
Can this lead to a use-after-free during driver teardown?

When the driver unbinds, devres destroys resources in LIFO order.
The custom devres action rpmh_regulator_cancel_delayed_off_work runs first,
canceling the delayed work. Then devm_regulator_release() runs, which calls
regulator_unregister().

If regulator_unregister() flushes pending core disables, it invokes
rpmh_regulator_disable() which re-queues the delayed work here. After devres
finishes freeing vreg, the newly queued work would execute and dereference
the freed memory.

[Severity: Medium]
Does cancelling the work here without syncing the hardware state leave the
regulator permanently enabled if a disable request was pending?

The regulator core would consider it disabled, leading to leaked power and
incorrect hardware state.

[Severity: High]
Could vreg->rdev be NULL if the delayed disable worker fires too early?

The regulator is exposed to consumers as soon as devm_regulator_register()
returns. If a fast consumer probes, sets a voltage, and immediately disables
the regulator before vreg->rdev is assigned here, the delayed off worker
might execute with vreg->rdev set to NULL.

This would cause a NULL pointer dereference when
_rpmh_regulator_set_enable_state() attempts to set the voltage and passes
the NULL rdev to rdev_get_drvdata().
