Subject[PATCH 01/21] regulator: core: Reduce critical area in _regulator_get
Date
...by moving the locking to regulator_dev_lookup.

In _regulator_get() the regulator_list_mutex mutex is held for most of
the function, but is only strictly needed to protect the list lookups.

This change would be useful if for example regulator devices could be
registered on demand when a driver requests them. regulator_register()
could end up being called from within _regulator_get while the lock on
regulator_list_mutex is being held, causing a deadlock.

This backtrace illustrates the situation described above:
