When updating the operating mode as part of regulator enable, the caller has already locked the regulator tree and drms_uA_update() must not try to do the same in order not to trigger a deadlock.

The lock inversion is reported by lockdep as:

====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 6.1.0-next-20221215 #142 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ udevd/154 is trying to acquire lock: ffffc11f123d7e50 (regulator_list_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: regulator_lock_dependent+0x54/0x280

but task is already holding lock: ffff80000e4c36e8 (regulator_ww_class_acquire){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: regulator_enable+0x34/0x80

which lock already depends on the new lock.

...

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(regulator_ww_class_acquire); lock(regulator_list_mutex); lock(regulator_ww_class_acquire); lock(regulator_list_mutex);

*** DEADLOCK ***

just before probe of a Qualcomm UFS controller (occasionally) deadlocks when enabling one of its regulators.
