Subject: [PATCH] HID: i2c-hid: goodix: Fix a lockdep splat
I'm was on the receiving end of a lockdep splat from this driver and after
scratching my head I couldn't be entirely sure it was a false positive
given we would also have to think about whether the regulator locking is
safe (since the notifier is called whilst holding regulator locks which
are also needed for regulator_is_enabled() ).
Regardless of whether it is a real bug or not, the mutex isn't needed.
We can use reference counting tricks instead to avoid races with the
notifier calls.
The observed splat follows:
------------------------------------------------------
kworker/u16:3/127 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff00008021fb20 (&ihid_goodix->regulator_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: ihid_goodix_vdd_notify+0x30/0x94
but task is already holding lock:
ffff0000835c60c0 (&(&rdev->notifier)->rwsem){++++}-{4:4}, at: blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x30/0x70
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
