I noticed the same problem in regulator_suspend_finish() when I was working
on S2R for Exynos a couple of months ago and had patch [0] on my local tree
but never found the time to do extensive testing so I never posted it.

In my case a tps65090 FET regulator was tried to be enabled twice and
tps65090_fet_enable() was failing printing a warning.

Your approach to check in _regulator_do_enable() is more generic though
since it covers future issues and not only regulator_suspend_finish()
but otoh it only cover the case for GPIO enabled regulators so you may
also check for other type of regulators using _regulator_is_enabled()?

I see that the check is already in _regulator_enable() so another option
is to call _regulator_enable() instead of _regulator_do_enable() in
regulator_suspend_finish().

Best regards,
Javier

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] regulator: Only enable disabled regulators on resume

After leaving from system wide suspend state, regulator_suspend_finish()
turn on regulators that might be turned off by regulator_suspend_prepare
but it tries to enable all regulators that have an enable count > 0 or
that were marked as "always-on" regardless if those were disabled or not.

Trying to enable an already enabled regulator may cause issues so is
better to skip enabling regulators that were not disabled before suspend.
