[PATCH] regulator: pass voltage when calling notifier for change

From: Philip Rakity
Date: Sat Jun 09 2012 - 15:39:27 EST


The notified call back does pass the voltage that has
changed when calling the notifier callback. This makes
it impossible to know what to do. Pass the data
parameter (voltage) to the notifier.

A call to regulator_get_voltage cannot be made by the
receiver of the notifier since the mutex is held by
the regulator code and the call is blocked. Deadlock
occurs.

This code was tested on a slightly earlier version of
linux where it was used to adjust the chip pad voltage
when doing SD vccq signaling for SDXC cards.
