The kernel WARNs and then crashes today if wm8994_device_init() fails after calling devm_regulator_bulk_get().
That happens because there are multiple devices involved here and the order in which managed resources are freed isn't correct.
The regulators are added as children of wm8994->dev. Whereas, devm_regulator_bulk_get() receives wm8994->dev as the device, though it gets the same regulators which were added as children of wm8994->dev earlier.
During failures, the children are removed first and the core eventually calls regulator_unregister() for them. As regulator_put() was never done for them (opposite of devm_regulator_bulk_get()), the kernel WARNs at
WARN_ON(rdev->open_count);
And eventually it crashes from debugfs_remove_recursive().
Is ...
mfd: wm8994-core: disable regulators before removing them
... required as well, or is that separate?

Fix the kernel warnings and crashes by using regulator_bulk_get() instead of devm_regulator_bulk_get() and explicitly freeing the supplies in exit paths.
Tested on Exynos 5250, dual core ARM A15 machine.
Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar viresh.kumar@linaro.org Acked-by: Charles Keepax ckeepax@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com
V3->V4:
- Send the right version of the patch, sent the older one by mistake earlier.
V2->V3:
- Fixed a rebase conflict
- sending only one patch with Charles Ack
V1->V2:
- Use regulator_bulk_free() instead of open coding it.
- Shorter backtrace
- Reworded the last paragraph to make it more clear
- Added a comment in code
