No other error messages?  That seems like there's something going on
that's very different to what Fabio was reporting...  I'm guessing some
voltage application didn't go through but it's hard to tell with so
little data.  dra7 does seem to have what Fabio had though so there's
definitely some effect on the OMAP platforms.

Looking at your stuff I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on -
we're getting double locking of a parent regulator during enable
according to your backtraces but it's not clear to me what took that
lock already.  regulator_enable() walks the supplies before it takes
the lock on the regulator it's immediately being called on, not holding
any locks on supplies while enabling.  regulator_balance_voltage() then
tries to lock the supplies again but lockdep says the lock is already
held by regulator_enable().  It's also weird that this doesn't seem to
be showing up on other boards in kernelci, the regulator setup on those
i.MX boards looks to be quite simple so I'd expect a much wider impact.

I'm wondering if your case is more pain from mutex_lock_nested(), both
regulator_lock_coupled() and regulator_lock_supply() will end up using 
indexes starting at 0 for the locking classes.  That doesn't smell right
though, but in case my straw clutching works:

If we can't figure it out I'll just drop the series but I'd prefer to at
least understand what's going on.
