Rui Zhang 3430936a01 regulator: core: Only increment use_count when enable_count changes
[ Upstream commit 7993d3a9c34f609c02171e115fd12c10e2105ff4 ]

The use_count of a regulator should only be incremented when the
enable_count changes from 0 to 1. Similarly, the use_count should
only be decremented when the enable_count changes from 1 to 0.

In the previous implementation, use_count was sometimes decremented
to 0 when some consumer called unbalanced disable,
leading to unexpected disable even the regulator is enabled by
other consumers. With this change, the use_count accurately reflects
the number of users which the regulator is enabled.

This should make things more robust in the case where a consumer does
leak references.

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.
