Hi Fabio,
thank you for your response.
Could you tell me on which board precisely (on which DTS) has this issue
occurred?
Also, I don't understand, did you boot successfully and you got only a lockdep
warning or you encountered an actual deadlock?
Best regards,
Maciej Purski

Hi all,
this patchset adds a new mechanism to the framework - regulators' coupling.
On Odroid XU3/4 and other Exynos5422 based boards there is a case, that
different devices on the board are supplied by different regulators
with non-fixed voltages. If one of these devices temporarily requires
higher voltage, there might occur a situation that the spread between
devices' voltages is so high, that there is a risk of changing
'high' and 'low' states on the interconnection between devices powered
by those regulators.
Algorithmicaly the problem was solved by:
Inderpal Singh <inderpa...@samsung.com>
Doug Anderson <diand...@chromium.org>
The discussion on that subject can be found here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/28
Therefore this patchset is an attempt to apply the idea to regulators core
as concluded in the discussion by Mark Brown and Doug Anderson.
This feature is required to enable support for generic CPUfreq
and devfreq drivers for the mentioned boards.
Note on the locking model:
When balancing voltage of a group of coupled regulators, we lock all
of them for the whole operation. When voltage of an individual regulator
is about to change, its suppliers are additionally locked.
The current assumption is that an uncoupled regulator is a special case
of a coupled one, so they should share a common voltage setting path.
