Jia, do you want to reply to this thread as the Fixes patch was added by you ?

I don't see how this can happen.

This looks fishy, we just keep on increasing the ref count of the regulator but never take it down.

Thanks.

Function regulator_get_optional() returns a negative error number on any kind of regulator_get() failure: failing to check for that in the teardown path will lead to a kernel panic due to a call to function regulator_disable(). Besides that, the "proc" regulator does actually provide power to the CPU cluster(s): disabling it will produce a lockup on at least some SoCs, such as MT8173. That consideration is also valid for the "sram" regulator, providing power to the CPU caches instead, present on some other SoCs, such as MT8183, MT8186 (and others). Resolve both situations and by simply removing the entire faulty branches responsible for disabling the aforementioned regulators if enabled, keeping in mind that these are enabled (and left enabled) by the bootloader before booting the kernel.
