[patch 2.6.29-rc7 regulator-next] regulator: refcount fixes

From: David Brownell
Date: Wed Mar 11 2009 - 20:43:48 EST


From: David Brownell <dbrownell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Fix some refcounting issues in the regulator framework, supporting
regulator_disable() for regulators that were enabled at boot time
via machine constraints:

- Update those regulators' usecounts after enabling, so they
can cleanly be disabled at that level.

- Remove the problematic per-consumer usecount, so there's
only one level of enable/disable.

Buggy consumers could notice different bug symptoms. The main
example would be refcounting bugs; also, any (out-of-tree) users
of the experimental regulator_set_optimum_mode() stuff which
don't call it when they're done using a regulator.

This is a net minor codeshrink.

Against the regulator-next tree; mainline has similar issues.
