7 weeks later, the fix is still in -next only, hidden in:

commit 203903b3383c2dc8bcommit 203903b3383c2dc8b79277061341ec1c31ea75e3
Merge: f7ef70b70ccf13a9 90b1f7f5d2016031

    Merge remote-tracking branch 'regmap/for-next'

Worse, the problem is now in Linus' tree:

drivers/mfd/wm5110-tables.c: In function âwm5110_patchâ:
drivers/mfd/wm5110-tables.c:281: warning: passing argument 2 of
âregmap_register_patchâ from incompatible pointer type
drivers/mfd/wm8998-tables.c: In function âwm8998_patchâ:
drivers/mfd/wm8998-tables.c:50: warning: passing argument 2 of
âregmap_register_patchâ from incompatible pointer type
