That was a (so far, not counting the "Applied, thanks!") unanswered question?

For the first time ever, I got:

drivers/regulator/core.c:3480 regulator_notifier_call_chain+0x54/0x80()

due to da9210_irq_handler() not taking the mutex.

Drivers calling regulator_notifier_call_chain() from a threaded interrupt
handler should be OK calling mutex_lock().

Does anyone have plans to fix all affected drivers?

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

Geert
