This prevent regulators to hold an invalid reference if its supply parent device driver probe is deferred. But this causes issues on some boards where a PMIC's regulator use as input supply a regulator from another PMIC whose driver is registered after the driver for the former. In this case the regulators for the first PMIC will fail to resolve input supplies on regulators registration (since the other PMIC wasn't probed yet). And when the core attempts to resolve again latter when the other PMIC registers its own regulators, it will fail again since the parent device isn't bound yet. This will cause some parent supplies to never be resolved and wrongly be disabled on boot due taking them as unused. To solve this problem, also attempt to resolve the pending regulators input supplies before disabling the unused regulators. Signed-off-by: Javier Martinez Canillas --- Hello, I found this issue since after the mentioned commit the Exynos5800 Peach Pi Chromebook was failing to boot as reported by kernelci: https://storage.kernelci.org/broonie-regulator/regulator-fix-v4.10-rc6-58-g3761de31e8aa/arm-exynos_defconfig/lab-collabora/boot-exynos5800-peach-pi.html This patch fixes the issue. Best regards, Javier Changes in v2: - Leave the supply resolve logic on regulator registration since is useful for modules. drivers/regulator/core.c | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/regulator/core.c b/drivers/regulator/core.c index cc68604ad97a..896cea137360 100644 --- a/drivers/regulator/core.c +++ b/drivers/regulator/core.c @@ -4556,6 +4556,16 @@ static int __init regulator_init_complete(void) if (of_have_populated_dt()) has_full_constraints = true; + /* + * Regulators may had failed to resolve their input supplies + * when were registered, either because the input supply was + * not registered yet or because its parent device was not + * bound yet.
