[ Upstream commit da46ee19cbd8344d6860816b4827a7ce95764867 ]

If create_regulator() fails in set_supply(), the module refcount
needs be put to keep refcount balanced.

commit f5c042b23f7429e5c2ac987b01a31c69059a978b upstream

Workaround regulators whose supply name happens to be the same as its
own name. This fixes boards that used to work before the early supply
resolving was removed. The error message is left in place so that
offending drivers can be detected.

commit 4b639e254d3d4f15ee4ff2b890a447204cfbeea9 upstream

When a regulator's name equals its supply's name the
regulator_resolve_supply() recurses indefinitely. Add a check
so that debugging the problem is easier. The "fixed" commit
just exposed the problem.

commit 57a6ad482af256b2a13de14194fb8f67c1a65f10 upstream.

Fixed commit introduced a possible second call to
set_machine_constraints() and that allocates memory for
rdev-&gt;constraints. Move the allocation to the caller so
it's easier to manage and done once.

regulator_get_voltage_rdev() is called in regulator probe() when
applying machine constraints.  The "fixed" commit exposed the problem
that non-bypassed regulators can forward the request to its parent
(like bypassed ones) supply. Return -EPROBE_DEFER when the supply
is expected but not resolved yet.

[ Upstream commit aea6cb99703e17019e025aa71643b4d3e0a24413 ]

When creating a new regulator its supply cannot create the sysfs link
because the device is not yet published. Remove early supply resolving
since it will be done later anyway. This makes the following error
disappear and the symlinks get created instead.

  DCDC_REG1: supplied by VSYS
  VSYS: could not add device link regulator.3 err -2

Note: It doesn't fix the problem for bypassed regulators, though.

This reverts commit 8b8c8d69b1a31004517d4c71a490f47bdf3405a2 which is
commit 55576cf1853798e86f620766e23b604c9224c19c upstream.

It's causing "odd" interactions with older kernels, so it probably isn't
a good idea to cause timing changes there.  This has been reported to
cause oopses on Pixel devices.

This reverts commit 8b8c8d69b1a31004517d4c71a490f47bdf3405a2 which is
commit 55576cf1853798e86f620766e23b604c9224c19c upstream.

It's causing "odd" interactions with older kernels, so it probably isn't
a good idea to cause timing changes there.  This has been reported to
cause oopses on Pixel devices.

commit 55576cf1853798e86f620766e23b604c9224c19c upstream.

The kernel has no way of knowing when we have finished instantiating
drivers, between deferred probe and systems that build key drivers as
modules we might be doing this long after userspace has booted. This has
always been a bit of an issue with regulator_init_complete since it can
power off hardware that's not had it's driver loaded which can result in
user visible effects, the main case is powering off displays. Practically
speaking it's not been an issue in real systems since most systems that
use the regulator API are embedded and build in key drivers anyway but
with Arm laptops coming on the market it's becoming more of an issue so
let's do something about it.

In the absence of any better idea just defer the powering off for 30s
after late_initcall(), this is obviously a hack but it should mask the
issue for now and it's no more arbitrary than late_initcall() itself.
Ideally we'd have some heuristics to detect if we're on an affected
system and tune or skip the delay appropriately, and there may be some
need for a command line option to be added.
