[ Upstream commit 08880713ceec023dd94d634f1e8902728c385939 ]

If CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is not set:

    regulator: Failed to create debugfs directory
    ...
    regulator-dummy: Failed to create debugfs directory

As per the comments for debugfs_create_dir(), errors returned by this
function should be expected, and ignored:

 * If debugfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -%ENODEV will be
 * returned.
 *
 * NOTE: it's expected that most callers should _ignore_ the errors returned
 * by this function. Other debugfs functions handle the fact that the "dentry"
 * passed to them could be an error and they don't crash in that case.
 * Drivers should generally work fine even if debugfs fails to init anyway.

Adhere to the debugfs spirit, and streamline all operations by:
  1. Demoting the importance of the printed error messages to debug
     level, like is already done in create_regulator(),
  2. Further ignoring any returned errors, as by design, all debugfs
     functions are no-ops when passed an error pointer.

In case of failure, debugfs_create_dir() does not return NULL, but an
error pointer.  Most incorrect error checks were fixed, but the one in
create_regulator() was forgotten.

Fix the remaining error check.

[ Upstream commit 2bf1c45be3b8f3a3f898d0756c1282f09719debd ]

This patch fixes the error checking in core.c in debugfs_create_dir.
The correct way to check if an error occurred is 'IS_ERR' inline function.

An automated bot told me that there was a potential lockdep problem
with regulators. This was on the chromeos-5.15 kernel, but I see
nothing that would be different downstream compared to upstream. The
bot said:

The problem was first reported soon after we made many of the
regulators probe asynchronously, though nothing I've seen implies that
the problems couldn't have also happened even without that.

I haven't personally been able to reproduce the lockdep issue, but the
issue does look somewhat legitimate. Specifically, it looks like in
regulator_resolve_supply() we are holding a "rdev" lock while calling
set_supply() -&gt; create_regulator() which grabs the lock of a
_different_ "rdev" (the one for our supply). This is not necessarily
safe from a lockdep perspective since there is no documented ordering
between these two locks.

In reality, we should always be locking a regulator before the
supplying regulator, so I don't expect there to be any real deadlocks
in practice. However, the regulator framework in general doesn't
express this to lockdep.

Let's fix the issue by simply grabbing the two locks involved in the
same way we grab multiple locks elsewhere in the regulator framework:
using the "wound/wait" mechanisms.

[ Upstream commit b83a1772be854f87602de14726737d3e5b06e1f4 ]

When a codepath locks a rdev using ww_mutex_lock_slow() directly then
that codepath is responsible for incrementing the "ref_cnt" and also
setting the "mutex_owner" to "current".

The regulator core consistently got that right for "ref_cnt" but
didn't always get it right for "mutex_owner". Let's fix this.

It's unlikely that this truly matters because the "mutex_owner" is
only needed if we're going to do subsequent locking of the same
rdev. However, even though it's not truly needed it seems less
surprising if we consistently set "mutex_owner" properly.

This is very close to a straight revert of commit 218320fec294
("regulator: core: Fix off-on-delay-us for always-on/boot-on
regulators"). We've identified that patch as causing a boot speed
regression on sc7180-trogdor boards. While boot speed certainly isn't
more important than making sure that power sequencing is correct,
looking closely at the original change it doesn't seem to have been
fully justified. It mentions "cycling issues" without describing
exactly what the issues were. That means it's possible that the
cycling issues were really a problem that should be fixed in a
different way.

Let's take a careful look at how we should handle regulators that have
an off-on-delay and that are boot-on or always-on. Linux currently
doesn't have any way to identify whether a GPIO regulator was already
on when the kernel booted. That means that when the kernel boots we
probe a regulator, see that it wants boot-on / always-on we, and then
turn the regulator on. We could be in one of two cases when we do
this:

a) The regulator might have been left on by the bootloader and we're
   ensuring that it stays on.
b) The regulator might have been left off by the bootloader and we're
   just now turning it on.

For case a) we definitely don't need any sort of delay. For case b) we
_might_ need some delay in case the bootloader turned the regulator
off _right_ before booting the kernel. To get the proper delay for
case b) then we can just assume a `last_off` of 0, which is what it
gets initialized to by default.

As per above, we can't tell whether we're in case a) or case b) so
we'll assume the longer delay (case b). This basically puts the code
to how it was before commit 218320fec294 ("regulator: core: Fix
off-on-delay-us for always-on/boot-on regulators"). However, we add
one important change: we make sure that the delay is actually honored
if `last_off` is 0. Though the original "cycling issues" cited were
vague, I'm hopeful that this important extra change will be enough to
fix the issues that the initial commit mentioned.

With this fix, I've confined that on a sc7180-trogdor board the delay
at boot goes down from 500 ms to ~250 ms. That's not as good as the 0
ms that we had prior to commit 218320fec294 ("regulator: core: Fix
off-on-delay-us for always-on/boot-on regulators"), but it's probably
safer because we don't know if the bootloader turned the regulator off
right before booting.

One note is that it's possible that we could be in a state that's not
a) or b) if there are other issues in the kernel. The only one I can
think of is related to pinctrl. If the pinctrl driver being used on a
board isn't careful about avoiding glitches when setting up a pin then
it's possible that setting up a pin could cause the regulator to "turn
off" briefly immediately before the regulator probes. If this is
indeed causing problems then the pinctrl driver should be fixed,
perhaps in a similar way to what was done in commit d21f4b7ffc22
("pinctrl: qcom: Avoid glitching lines when we first mux to output")

<title>regulator: core: Use ktime_get_boottime() to determine how long a regulator was off</title>

<content type='text'>
For regulators with 'off-on-delay-us' the regulator framework currently
uses ktime_get() to determine how long the regulator has been off
before re-enabling it (after a delay if needed). A problem with using
ktime_get() is that it doesn't account for the time the system is
suspended. As a result a regulator with a longer 'off-on-delay' (e.g.
500ms) that was switched off during suspend might still incurr in a
delay on resume before it is re-enabled, even though the regulator
might have been off for hours. ktime_get_boottime() accounts for
suspend time, use it instead of ktime_get().

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.

From Marek's log, the previous change modify the parent of rdev.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/58b92e75-f373-dae7-7031-8abd465bb874@samsung.com/

In 'regulator_resolve_supply', it uses the parent DT node of rdev as the
DT-lookup starting node. But the parent DT node may not exist. This will
cause the NULL supply issue.

This patch modify the parent of rdev back to the device that provides
from 'regulator_config' in 'regulator_register'.
