Subject: Re: [PATCH 5/7] regulator: core: Lock dependent regulators

Sort of high level comment, but this doesn't look right: With dependent
regulators you don't strictly lock the regulators in the direction of
the tree root, but also siblings at the same level. This is prone with
deadlocks, as you can't control the order of the regulator locks being
taken by different tasks. This really needs a ww_mutex to be
implemented in a robust way.

Regards,
Lucas
