Subject: [PATCH] regulator: avoid resolve_supply() infinite recursion
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

commit 4b639e254d3d4f15ee4ff2b890a447204cfbeea9 upstream

When a regulator's name equals its supply's name the
regulator_resolve_supply() recurses indefinitely. Add a check
so that debugging the problem is easier. The "fixed" commit
just exposed the problem.

Fixes: aea6cb99703e ("regulator: resolve supply after creating regulator")
