    regulator: core: fix deadlock on regulator enable · cb3543cf
    Johan Hovold authored
    When updating the operating mode as part of regulator enable, the caller
    has already locked the regulator tree and drms_uA_update() must not try
    to do the same in order not to trigger a deadlock.
    
    The lock inversion is reported by lockdep as:

    just before probe of a Qualcomm UFS controller (occasionally) deadlocks
    when enabling one of its regulators.
