Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

misc: lis3lv02d_i2c: Fix regulators getting en-/dis-abled twice on suspend/resume

When not configured for wakeup lis3lv02d_i2c_suspend() will call

lis3lv02d_poweroff() even if the device has already been turned off

by the runtime-suspend handler and if configured for wakeup and

the device is runtime-suspended at this point then it is not turned

back on to serve as a wakeup source.

Before commit b1b9f7a49440 ("misc: lis3lv02d_i2c: Add missing setting

of the reg_ctrl callback"), lis3lv02d_poweroff() failed to disable

the regulators which as a side effect made calling poweroff() twice ok.

Now that poweroff() correctly disables the regulators, doing this twice

triggers a WARN() in the regulator core:

unbalanced disables for regulator-dummy

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 92 at drivers/regulator/core.c:2999 _regulator_disable

...

Fix lis3lv02d_i2c_suspend() to not call poweroff() a second time if

already runtime-suspended and ad
