 =============================================
 [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
 3.4.0+ #71 Not tainted
 ---------------------------------------------
 swapper/0/1 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&rdev->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<c0306c60>] regulator_disable+0x2c/0x6c

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&rdev->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<c0a0d1f4>] regulator_init_complete+0x70/0x1c0

 other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0
        ----
   lock(&rdev->mutex);
   lock(&rdev->mutex);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

  May be due to missing lock nesting notation

 2 locks held by swapper/0/1:
  #0:  (regulator_list_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<c0a0d1a8>]

  #1:  (&rdev->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<c0a0d1f4>]
