I am hoping for a Tested-By: from the one who has submitted the patch
for the regulator.

Well, it is not just guessing, it is there in the url I referenced. But
I would of course prefer a better source. At first I wanted to spread
my findings.
I am not pushing anyone to accept it without Tested-By/Reviewed-Bys.
What is a good way to avoid people bumping into this bug?
Maybe I can find the right C on the board to check.

Regards,
Andreas
