I don't see any trace in that thread. But yes, I was testing your patch
from this thread. Without it, ADS7846 does not work on spitz (ADS7846
does not have any dedicated regulator there). I want to
add .needs_regulator bool to ads7846.c and send the patch again to the
list.

After sending the trace I was able to reproduced it several times by
attaching of external charger.

Then I tried to apply "[PATCH] MAX1111: Fix race condition causing NULL
pointer exception", connected charger that periodically disconnects and
not seen the crash again. No OOPS was seen after ~100 reconnects.

So I guess that MAX1111 AC voltage reading (via SPI) was involved in an
incorrect moment and race happened there and your MAX1111 race condition
fix fixes it.
