The notified call back does pass the voltage that has changed when calling the notifier callback. This makes it impossible to know what to do. Pass the data parameter (voltage) to the notifier. A call to regulator_get_voltage cannot be made by the receiver of the notifier since the mutex is held by the regulator code and the call is blocked. Deadlock occurs. This code was tested on a slightly earlier version of linux where it was used to adjust the chip pad voltage when doing SD vccq signaling for SDXC cards.
