Subject: Applied "regulator: core: Avoid propagating to supplies when possible" to the regulator tree

The patch

   regulator: core: Avoid propagating to supplies when possible

has been applied to the regulator tree at

   https://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: Avoid propagating to supplies when possible

When we called regulator_enable() on a regulator we'd end up
propagating that call all the way up the chain every time.  This is a
bit of a waste of time.  A child regulator already refcounts its own
enables so it should avoid passing on to its parent unless the
refcount transitioned between 0 and 1.

Historically this hasn't been a huge problem since we skipped dealing
with enable for always-on regulators.  In a previous patch, however,
we removed the always-on optimization.  On one system, the debugfs
regulator_summary was now showing a "use_count" of 33 for a top-level
regulator.

Let's implement this optimization.  This turns out to be fairly
trivial with the recent reorganization of the regulator core.

NOTE: as part of this patch I'll make "always-on" regulators start
with a use count of 1.  This keeps the counts clean when recursively
resolving regulators.

ALSO NOTE: this commit also contains somewhat of a bug fix to
regulator_force_disable().  It was incorrectly looping over
"rdev->open_count" when it should have been looping over use_count.
We have to touch that code anyway (since we should no longer loop at
all), so we'll fix it together in one patch.  Also: since this comes
after commit f8702f9e4aa7 ("regulator: core: Use ww_mutex for
regulators locking") we can now move to use _regulator_disable() for
our supply and keep it in the lock.
