Subject: [PATCH v2] regulator: core: Use ktime_get_boottime() to determine how long a regulator was off

For regulators with 'off-on-delay-us' the regulator framework currently
uses ktime_get() to determine how long the regulator has been off
before re-enabling it (after a delay if needed). A problem with using
ktime_get() is that it doesn't account for the time the system is
suspended. As a result a regulator with a longer 'off-on-delay' (e.g.
500ms) that was switched off during suspend might still incurr in a
delay on resume before it is re-enabled, even though the regulator
might have been off for hours. ktime_get_boottime() accounts for
suspend time, use it instead of ktime_get().

The issue already existed before the commit in the 'Fixes' tag, but
it's probably not worth backporting this to older kernels that
use jiffies instead of ktime.

Changes in v2:
- added 'Fixes' and Cc: stable tags
- added 'Reviewed-by' tag from Stephen

This API seems like landmines...

[1/1] regulator: core: Use ktime_get_boottime() to determine how long a regulator was off
commit: 80d2c29e09e663761c2778167a625b25ffe01b6f

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
