Ah.. ok, so is perhaps what is happening here that both the
devm_gpio_get and the regualtor_ena_gpio_free are both trying to
free the GPIO? I assume the regulator core does this to handle
the case of shared GPIOs, so presumably the correct fix would
just be to switch from devm_gpiod_get to just plain gpiod_get and
not add the additional gpiod_put in wm8994_ldo_remove, as the
regulator core will handle freeing the GPIO for us.

I will respin the patch and lets see where that gets us to.

Thanks,
Charles
