Thanks Mark,

I originally used "Dialog PMIC" in the Subject line to describe the coverage
of MFD, regulator and input/ONKEY. I will be more explicit in future.

There had been no reply since my first e-mail round about a month ago, so I
figured there was something wrong with the patch submission.

Lee has since applied PATCH V3 which I resent earlier today. That version finally
removed the regulator files and deleted you from the TO: and CC: e-mail fields 
thereby removing you as a dependency.

I will have to send the regulator updates separately at a later date.

In future I will split up the responsibility and define the Subject line better to
remove any ambiguity.
