commit 30332eeefec8f83afcea00c360f99ef64b87f220 upstream. Hardware registers of devices under control of power management cannot be accessed at all times. If such a device is suspended, register accesses may lead to undefined behavior, like reading bogus values, or causing exceptions or system lock-ups. Extend struct debugfs_regset32 with an optional field to let device drivers specify the device the registers in the set belong to. This allows debugfs_show_regset32() to make sure the device is resumed while its registers are being read.

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.
