[PATCH 2/2] pinctrl: sunxi: Fix and simplify pin bank regulator handling

From: Chen-Yu Tsai
Date: Thu Jan 10 2019 - 03:26:39 EST


The new per-pin-bank regulator handling code in the sunxi pinctrl driver
has mismatched conditions for enabling and disabling the regulator: it
is enabled each time a pin is requested, but only disabled when the
pin-bank's reference count reaches zero.

Since we are doing reference counting already, there's no need to enable
the regulator each time a pin is requested. Instead we can just do it
for the first requested pin of each pin-bank. Thus we can reverse the
test and bail out early if it's not the first occurrence.

Fixes: 9a2a566adb00 ("pinctrl: sunxi: Deal with per-bank regulators")

I'm getting the feeling that the current code is prone to race
conditions when pinctrl sets are actively switched during runtime, or
gpios are requested and freed from userspace.

Any ideas?
