[PATCH] regulator: core: Avoid propagating to supplies when possible

From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Tue Nov 20 2018 - 12:52:54 EST


When we called regulator_enable() on a regulator we'd end up
propagating that call all the way up the chain every time. This is a
bit of a waste of time. A child regulator already refcounts its own
enables so it should avoid passing on to its parent unless the
refcount transitioned between 0 and 1.

Historically this hasn't been a huge problem since we skipped dealing
with enable for always-on regulators. In a previous patch, however,
we removed the always-on optimization. On one system, the debugfs
regulator_summary was now showing a "use_count" of 33 for a top-level
regulator.

Let's implement this optimization. This turns out to be fairly
trivial with the recent reorganization of the regulator core.

NOTE: as part of this patch I'll make "always-on" regulators start
with a use count of 1. This keeps the counts clean when recursively
resolving regulators.

ALSO NOTE: this commit also contains somewhat of a bug fix to
regulator_force_disable(). It was incorrectly looping over
"rdev->open_count" when it should have been looping over use_count.
We have to touch that code anyway (since we should no longer loop at
all), so we'll fix it together in one patch. Also: since this comes
after commit f8702f9e4aa7 ("regulator: core: Use ww_mutex for
regulators locking") we can now move to use _regulator_disable() for
our supply and keep it in the lock.
