The mutex for the regulator_dev must be controlled by the caller of the regulator_notifier_call_chain(), as described in the comment for that function.
Failure to mutex lock and unlock surrounding the notifier call results in a kernel WARN_ON_ONCE() which will dump a backtrace for the regulator_notifier_call_chain() when that function call is first made. The mutex can be controlled using the regulator_lock/unlock() API.
