[PATCH v3 5/5] regulator: tps65090: Make FETs more reliable by adding retries

From: Doug Anderson
Date: Wed Apr 16 2014 - 19:15:24 EST


An issue was discovered with tps65090 where sometimes the FETs
wouldn't actually turn on when requested (they would report
overcurrent). The most problematic FET was the one used for the LCD
backlight on the Samsung ARM Chromebook (FET1). Problems were
especially prevalent when the device was plugged in to AC power (when
the backlight voltage was higher).

Mitigate the problem by adding retries on the enables of the FETs,
which works around the problem fairly effectively.

Changes in v3:
- Fixed kernel-doc notation for return

Changes in v2:
- Separated the overcurrent and retries changes into two patches.
- No longer open code fet_is_enabled().
- Fixed tps6090 typo.
- For loop => "while true".
- Removed a set of braces.
