Hello Lee,

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Sure, Mark already suggested the same and I'll do it on the next version.

But there still be some cross-subsystem dependency/messiness since the
regulator, clk and rtc drivers include the mfd max77802 headers that are added
in Patch 6.

So I guess you should either a) take the whole patch-set through your mfd tree
or b) merge the mfd patches and create an immutable branch that can be pulled by
Mark, Mike and Alessandro.

I don't know what's the preferred workflow in these cases...
