SubjectRe: [PATCH v5 0/5] Add coupled regulators mechanism
From
Date
Hi Fabio,
thank you for your response.
Could you tell me on which board precisely (on which DTS) has this issue occurred?
Also, I don't understand, did you boot successfully and you got only a lockdep
warning or you encountered an actual deadlock?

Best regards,
Maciej Purski
