commit 55576cf1853798e86f620766e23b604c9224c19c upstream. The kernel has no way of knowing when we have finished instantiating drivers, between deferred probe and systems that build key drivers as modules we might be doing this long after userspace has booted. This has always been a bit of an issue with regulator_init_complete since it can power off hardware that's not had it's driver loaded which can result in user visible effects, the main case is powering off displays. Practically speaking it's not been an issue in real systems since most systems that use the regulator API are embedded and build in key drivers anyway but with Arm laptops coming on the market it's becoming more of an issue so let's do something about it. In the absence of any better idea just defer the powering off for 30s after late_initcall(), this is obviously a hack but it should mask the issue for now and it's no more arbitrary than late_initcall() itself. Ideally we'd have some heuristics to detect if we're on an affected system and tune or skip the delay appropriately, and there may be some need for a command line option to be added.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
