I considered that we may call this function in suspend/resume routine,
so I add this mutex.
But as you said, currently we doesn't have these routine yet, the mutex
is unnecessary, so I will remove it.

Ok, I will remove these messages and this function.

Oh, yes, you are right, I will do it.

Ok, I will remove these codes.
So I will write something like:
if (!IS_ERR(data->lm90_reg)) {
ret = regulator_enable(data->lm90_reg);
if (ret < 0) {
dev_err();
return ret;
}
} else {
if (PTR_ERR(data->lm90_reg) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
return -EPRPBE_DEFER;

data->lm90_reg = !!IS_ERR(data->lm90_reg);
}

I think get_regulator() will return error values, not only
-EPROBE_DEFER, so we should set data->lm90_reg to NULL to handle other
error values.
