Hi Mark,
I'm fighting with a small issue when using the
regulator_bulk_register_supply_alias(). Problem is that when using the
.parent_supplies entry in the MFD driver, I hit the
WARN_ON(!list_empty(&dev->devres_head));
in linux/drivers/base/dd.c#L272, but, apart from the warning,
everything seems to work correctly.
A possible explanation I gave myself is that in the mfd_add_device()
we try to use the devm_* API when the regulator device is not bound to
the driver yet (I found some information here
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-June/104442.html).
Is this the case?
Thanks,
