Lockdep warns that prepare_lock and genpd->mlock can cause a deadlock
the deadlock scenario is like following:
First thread is probing cs2000
cs2000_probe()
clk_register()
__clk_core_init()
clk_prepare_lock() ----> acquires prepare_lock
cs2000_recalc_rate()
i2c_smbus_read_byte_data()
rcar_i2c_master_xfer()
dma_request_chan()
rcar_dmac_of_xlate()
rcar_dmac_alloc_chan_resources()
pm_runtime_get_sync()
__pm_runtime_resume()
rpm_resume()
rpm_callback()
genpd_runtime_resume() ----> acquires genpd->mlock
Second thread is attaching any device to the same PM domain
genpd_add_device()
genpd_lock() ----> acquires genpd->mlock
cpg_mssr_attach_dev()
of_clk_get_from_provider()
__of_clk_get_from_provider()
__clk_create_clk()
clk_prepare_lock() ----> acquires prepare_lock
Since currently no PM provider access genpd's critical section
in .attach_dev, and .detach_dev callbacks, so there is no need to protect
these two callbacks with genpd->mlock.
This patch avoids a potential deadlock by moving out .attach_dev and .detach_dev
from genpd->mlock, so that genpd->mlock won't be held when prepare_lock is acquired
in .attach_dev and .detach_dev

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.
