Arnd Bergmann 264e22afa3 Third Round of Renesas ARM Based SoC Fixes for v4.13
Fix deadlock in regulator quirk for R-Car Gen 2 SoCs
 
 The da9063/da9210 regulator quirk for R-Car Gen2 boards uses a bus
 notifier, and unregisters the notifier when it is no longer needed.
 However, a notifier must not be unregistered from within the call chain.
 
 This bug went unnoticed, as blocking_notifier_chain_unregister() didn't
 take the semaphore during early boot. This is no longer the case as of
 upstream commit 1c3c5eab17 ("sched/core: Enable might_sleep() and
 smp_processor_id() checks early") and a deadlock occurs.

README

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.
