Subject: Applied "regulator: core: remove lockdep assert from suspend_prepare" to the regulator tree

The patch

   regulator: core: remove lockdep assert from suspend_prepare

has been applied to the regulator tree at

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] regulator: core: remove lockdep assert from suspend_prepare

suspend_prepare can be called during regulator init time also, where
the mutex is not locked yet. This causes a false lockdep warning.
To avoid the problem, remove the lockdep assertion from the function
causing the issue. An alternative would be to lock the mutex during
init, but this would cause other problems (some APIs used during init
will attempt to lock the mutex also, causing deadlock.)
