However, with deferred probing, late_initcall() is too soon to declare a regulator as unused as the regulator itself might not have registered due to defferal - Example: A regulator deffered due to i2bus not available which in turn is deffered due to pinctrl availability. Since deferred probing is done in late_initcall(), do the cleanup of unused regulators by regulator_init_complete in late_initcall_sync instead of late_initcall. Cc: Liam Girdwood Cc: Mark Brown Cc: Markus Pargmann Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan [nm@ti.com: minor rewording] Signed-off-by: Nishanth Menon --- Applies on v3.15-rc2 and on next-20140423 Original post: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2545061/ I rediscovered this patch many times now :(: Latest Example: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4044811/ http://slexy.org/raw/s21MCHgeJo shows none of the unused regulators are disabled and with this fix: http://slexy.org/raw/s2TH36cThR (which auto disables unused regulators). Ccying Markus as author of 66fda75f47dc (regulator: core: Replace direct ops->disable usage) he might be interested as well. Btw, this might open up a lot of broken boards - like we discovered for DRA7 - so it might be a good idea for next instead of current rc cyle giving it some time to cook and get platforms fixed. drivers/regulator/core.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/regulator/core.c b/drivers/regulator/core.c index 9a09f3c..5a05de3 100644 --- a/drivers/regulator/core.c +++ b/drivers/regulator/core.c @@ -3867,4 +3867,4 @@ unlock: return 0; } -late_initcall(regulator_init_complete); +late_initcall_sync(regulator_init_complete); -- 1.7.9.5
