Daniel Thompson bdbc65eb77 HID: i2c-hid: goodix: Fix a lockdep splat
commit 2787710f73 upstream.

I'm was on the receiving end of a lockdep splat from this driver and after
scratching my head I couldn't be entirely sure it was a false positive
given we would also have to think about whether the regulator locking is
safe (since the notifier is called whilst holding regulator locks which
are also needed for regulator_is_enabled() ).

Regardless of whether it is a real bug or not, the mutex isn't needed.
We can use reference counting tricks instead to avoid races with the
notifier calls.

The observed splat follows:

------------------------------------------------------
kworker/u16:3/127 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff00008021fb20 (&ihid_goodix->regulator_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: ihid_goodix_vdd_notify+0x30/0x94

but task is already holding lock:
ffff0000835c60c0 (&(&rdev->notifier)->rwsem){++++}-{4:4}, at: blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x30/0x70

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       ----                    ----
  lock(&(&rdev->notifier)->rwsem);

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
