Subject: [PATCH 4.9 39/42] regulator: avoid resolve_supply() infinite recursion

From: "Michał Mirosław" <mirq-linux@...e.qmqm.pl>

commit 4b639e254d3d4f15ee4ff2b890a447204cfbeea9 upstream

When a regulator's name equals its supply's name the
regulator_resolve_supply() recurses indefinitely. Add a check
so that debugging the problem is easier. The "fixed" commit
just exposed the problem.

Fixes: aea6cb99703e ("regulator: resolve supply after creating regulator")
