[PATCH 3/3] pmbus_core: Fix Deadlock

From: Naresh Solanki
Date: Tue Jul 25 2023 - 08:50:38 EST


From: Patrick Rudolph <patrick.rudolph@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

pmbus_regulator_get_error_flags() will also acquire the update_lock,
thus unlock the mutex before trying to lock it again from within
the same thread.

Fixes a deadlock when trying to read the regulator status.
