regarding pattern matching just remove ^ from the regexp and people
be aware of this "regulator: core" change.
I understand that the reverted commit is a maintainer's fault and by
renaming the subject you may hide it, so talking about people needs
please let them know that the change _reverts_ another commit.
I can not add Fixes: tag, because the change does not fix a commit, and
there is no Reverts: tag due to its obvious redundancy.
Please look at 1 hour old 1701f680407c ("Revert "ppdev: use new parport
device model" ") --- that's IMHO the proper way to create and apply
reverts.
And I disagree with the modified subject and commit message done by you
and without a notice mentioning this your change in the commit message.
