No, sorry. The regulator tree has already been merged into Linus' tree for v3.12 so can't be changed now. In any case the best approach to a situation like this is to make incremental improvements to the code in mainline rather than just throw out the existing code and start over. This ensures that no work done on the mainline version during or after merge gets lost. The best way to avoid this happening is to submit drivers as soon as you can, and of course to make sure that any code sent to mainline is reviewed. --JBi0ZxuS5uaEhkUZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.21 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSKbp5AAoJELSic+t+oim9dDgP/jnM7HuGLH5y7kHAWeUGeDNI Tglu6+y5F9SYTOfvsnH1Q2DnEC02TGfZc48hJZfFVhURJqyKS1W1/X4yW+L5VW39 k6dW9uLiAMNVjZEc28SffkPjyNGxOy/ev9w2wylXPfVNN0i2n028e50UtO5n33na V2jUdTRtqFtILts0+P6RH73guyokxNu3Nsi/SAOow3dWnW1LBuxu0w7ZsyrjId7X ykBdyQPTPS/6RbAp5tGpWRF3/78z6JXkPiJ92zntbPDQBb+6Mtf2RJy/sPK/4qZQ b31TzA7KxQerl3qfM5ej7p8NzL4kxDK5WgKbxWOFL3q4j+/7+IropUv3UbH0PsWi CVbn8V4U6/sx9owFezJFBItlgUGPtTXlJprm4a/wDdvO6Bbkwu1Ca2xrun5pA/Fh xUzykszWArLw0fQyXhiLAQCzUwqXW1ZMDKwZEIOcd5EVYDQx2OHCZdduBAUaML/D 5vEW5O27V39fK/FfEvgdvvKW+JY4yVDcFTbFn4jcSgtvzf0hp34YtgE9VyeDZAxx K6be8SushIoSiICvRANCzjkQBsUnFZ2ZNOzFznThSpdTtm0MCLuToXIlhMotlisW R6RdWngmG/Phh+1FKdWLmbPpYWimSdxK1fEwVipHWKzI+vL8IQ5+TQyB/uYq8XTB gq7VsADcrnO33oDZGrcD =hzIg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --JBi0ZxuS5uaEhkUZ-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
