Hi Greg,

This one depends on a regression-fix patch merged via this branch:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git for-next

The patch is this one[1]:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git/commit/drivers/regulator/hi6421v600-regulator.c?id=5db5dd5be70eaf808d9fd90174b957fc5c2912cb

Mark,

Is this branch stable or do you rebase it?

If the branch is stable, then perhaps Greg could merge from it before
applying the remaining patches from this series.

-

[1] There's no need of backporting the fix to stable, as the driver
won't work with upstream Kernels without patches 8 and 9 from
this series containing the Open Firmware data needed to probe it.

Thanks,
Mauro
