Subject: [PATCH 00/13] Fix backtrace warnings from bad notifier chain calls


Hi Mark,

This patch-set fixes a WARN_ON_ONCE() backtrace call caused by not
locking the mutex from the function call regulator_notifier_call_chain().
It does this for thirteen regulator drivers by adding a mutex lock
surrounding the notifier calls.

This missing mutex lock has been around for a while, but the API I have
used used here to fix it (i.e. regulator_lock()/regulator_unlock()) has
only been in the kernel since v4.18. Therefore as this fix stands, the
patches do not port back very far in kernel history.

Regards,
Steve
