[PATCH] regulator: core: fix debugfs creation regression

[PATCH] regulator: core: fix debugfs creation regression

[Johan Hovold]

regulator_get() may sometimes be called more than once for the same
consumer device, something which before commit dbe954d8f163 ("regulator:
core: Avoid debugfs: Directory ...  already present! error") resulted in
errors being logged.

A couple of recent commits broke the handling of such cases so that
attributes are now erroneously created in the debugfs root directory the
second time a regulator is requested and the log is filled with errors
like:

	debugfs: File 'uA_load' in directory '/' already present!
	debugfs: File 'min_uV' in directory '/' already present!
	debugfs: File 'max_uV' in directory '/' already present!
	debugfs: File 'constraint_flags' in directory '/' already present!

on any further calls.

Fixes: 2715bb11cfff ("regulator: core: Fix more error checking for debugfs_create_dir()")
Fixes: 08880713ceec ("regulator: core: Streamline debugfs operations")

Thanks!

[1/1] regulator: core: fix debugfs creation regression
      commit: 2a4b49bb58123bad6ec0e07b02845f74c23d5e04

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
