In short adding restrack support > to regulators will allow to: I did look at the cover letter and glance at the first couple of patches but I still can't tell what this is really intended to do. There's a lot of implementation detail but not a lot of high level overview so it's not very clear to me how exactly this solves problems or how it is different to the component framework, it sounds very similar. I'd expect someone reading the change in the regulator API to have at least some idea how this fits in with the rest of the API and how to use it, and probably more importantly I'd expect to be able to understand why this is DT only. --5FNPeqk0egs0iuvD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUiZT9AAoJECTWi3JdVIfQt+cH/0dvoIx1Mg0GgnLlbSrzaC/+ e9DXQHbh/ynUlqjM60wKCz/xo0mD/glSQQbZaCkpADoBWObnLDnydaGEg8w9fGub bN2gDtOcelvibN4ID1nZshRFHWFa1ubdGksf8v2nqvX7cvmdVcw0XLKIjiVlp4aI UVhr3RIqZEn4cCmw4FfrAxrxXMJfm9ehl5mecBKRuUlVGWFgw49AEG2GjKnnt2fM KogSkZdKOQpaWRQpst+wGnDnOUpYooe3ojfxBIxv6aZyCndXtUMO4Lr+55yhp5n7 v+j0yRBmUmOPckm+MYU2/Ops09ROpD/FlShbb3jf+HxgLdy6W/kK45N11oadLu4= =wRH4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5FNPeqk0egs0iuvD-- -- 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/
