Setting voltage, enabling/disabling regulators requires operations on all regulators related with the regulator being changed. Therefore, all of them should be locked for the whole operation. With the current locking implementation, adding additional dependency (regulators coupling) causes deadlocks in some cases. Introduce a possibility to attempt to lock a mutex multiple times by the same task without waiting on a mutex. This should handle all reasonable coupling-supplying combinations, especially when two coupled regulators share common supplies. The only situation that should be forbidden is simultaneous coupling and supplying between a pair of regulators. The idea is based on clk core.

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.
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.
