This issue because of which 52cdbdd49853 (driver core: correct device's shutdown order) was added is not present from 4.18, since dra7 started using sdhci-omap.c driver which doesn't disable regulator during shutdown. (The original issue was present in omap_hsmmc driver). When sdhci-omap driver is modified to disable regulator during shutdown, something like device_link_add() can be added in _regulator_get(). Since this doesn't reintroduce the problem that was solved by 52cdbdd49853, this can be safely merged. Reviewed-by: Kishon Vijay Abraham I <[email protected]> Thanks Kishon
