Hi Mark,

Sorry, I have no idea how you expect me (and others) to handle situations
like this, much less with this patch. Please keep in mind that this is
a per-maintainer process, and each maintainer handles things differently.
Individual maintainers may expect me to send a ping like I did, or to
resend the patch, or they may not reply because they dislike the patch
and they don't want to be bothered with a discussion. Some even go
ballistic if they get an e-mail with more than 80 columns of text.

Negotiating a minefield sometimes seems easier than submitting kernel
patches :-(.

I can't even find out by browsing the regulator mailing list since it
appears that there is no such list.
