If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b5d4423f125c87cdc5c5df88e67dab91d091ba7a Author: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jan 22 13:20:42 2021 +0000 regulator: Fix lockdep warning resolving supplies [ Upstream commit 14a71d509ac809dcf56d7e3ca376b15d17bd0ddd ] With commit eaa7995c529b54 (regulator: core: avoid regulator_resolve_supply() race condition) we started holding the rdev lock while resolving supplies, an operation that requires holding the regulator_list_mutex. This results in lockdep warnings since in other places we take the list mutex then the mutex on an individual rdev. Since the goal is to make sure that we don't call set_supply() twice rather than a concern about the cost of resolution pull the rdev lock and check for duplicate resolution down to immediately before we do the set_supply() and drop it again once the allocation is done.
