I'll place on a separate one.

I don't have any datasheets or documentation from this device, except for
the Linaro's official driver for Kernel 4.9 (from where this driver
was originally ported), and a high-level documentation for this
hardware at 96boards site, which doesn't cover any details.

My understanding is that the issue here seems to be different.
This is the original code (which can be seen on changeset 42f24d9d446a,
already upstream):
struct timeval last_enabled;
static void ensured_time_after(struct timeval since, u32 delay_us)
{
struct timeval now;
u64 elapsed_ns64, delay_ns64;
u32 actual_us32;
delay_ns64 = delay_us * NSEC_PER_USEC;
do_gettimeofday(&now);
elapsed_ns64 = timeval_to_ns(&now) - timeval_to_ns(&since);
if (delay_ns64 > elapsed_ns64) {
actual_us32 = ((u32)(delay_ns64 - elapsed_ns64) /
NSEC_PER_USEC);
if (actual_us32 >= 1000) {
mdelay(actual_us32 / 1000); /*lint !e647 */
udelay(actual_us32 % 1000);
} else if (actual_us32 > 0) {
udelay(actual_us32);
}
}
return;
}
static int hisi_regulator_enable(struct regulator_dev *dev)
{
struct hisi_regulator *sreg = rdev_get_drvdata(dev);
struct hisi_pmic *pmic = rdev_to_pmic(dev);
/* keep a distance of off_on_delay from last time disabled */
ensured_time_after(sreg->last_off_time, sreg->off_on_delay);
BRAND_DEBUG("<[%s]: off_on_delay=%dus>\n", __func__, sreg->off_on_delay);
/* cannot enable more than one regulator at one time */
mutex_lock(&enable_mutex);
ensured_time_after(last_enabled, HISI_REGS_ENA_PROTECT_TIME);
/* set enable register */
hisi_pmic_rmw(pmic, sreg->register_info.ctrl_reg,
sreg->register_info.enable_mask,
sreg->register_info.enable_mask);
BRAND_DEBUG("<[%s]: ctrl_reg=0x%x,enable_mask=0x%x>\n", __func__, sreg->register_info.ctrl_reg,\
sreg->register_info.enable_mask);
do_gettimeofday(&last_enabled);
mutex_unlock(&enable_mutex);
return 0;
}
What I did here was to play safe. So, I removed the static var and the
call to gettimeofday() and replaced by just a delay.
As, on this device, the power lines don't change too often: only
the USB power supply changes over time during its reset sequence.
The other power lines are powered during the boot and remain powered
if the hardware is detected.

I'll drop on a next version.

I'll drop unlikely().

Indeed this seems to be a bug. Thanks for noticing it!
I'll fix that.
Thanks,
