Eric,

I think it probably better going through your PXA tree now (to avoid any
conflicts). I had originally thought this patch was part of a larger
series that mostly touched regulator.

Robert,

Could you resubmit to Eric. Mark or I will ack. Please remove the
max1586_v6_info until it has some consumers.

Thanks

Liam
