[PATCH 00/10] regulator: Fix teardown races, reference counting, and error handling

From: Lee Jones

Date: Wed Nov 04 2026 - 14:07:16 EST


These issues were reported by Sashiko.

This series addresses ten bugs across the regulator core and regulator
drivers:

- Clear the caller's handle pointer (*handle = NULL) in
regulator_irq_helper_cancel() instead of assigning NULL to the local
variable.
- Remove the redundant arizona_ldo1_remove() callback that caused a
premature and double gpiod_put() on config.ena_gpiod (whose lifetime
is owned by the regulator core).
- Flush rdev->disable_work with flush_delayed_work() before releasing
rdev->supply in regulator_unregister().
- Cancel micsupp->check_cp_work on device teardown in arizona-micsupp
using devm_work_autocancel().
- Take a dedicated device reference for rdev->supply in set_supply() and
retain the local lookup reference throughout regulator_resolve_supply().
- Initialise rdev->last_off with ktime_get_boottime() in
set_machine_constraints() to match _regulator_do_enable() and
_regulator_do_disable().
- Propagate GPIO lookup errors (such as -EPROBE_DEFER) from
bq257xx_reg_dt_parse_gpio() instead of leaving an ERR_PTR in
pdata->otg_en_gpio.
- Fix the LDO4 n_voltages count in tps6594-regulator so selectors 0x3f
through 0x74 are reachable.
- Guard against a NULL idata pointer for BBAT, SDBY, and VRTC in
max8907_regulator_probe().
- Check the pm_runtime_resume_and_get() return value in
rt6190_out_enable().
