I didn't mean to bother you. It's true that it has been only a week since I
posted v8 of this series but I didn't have feedback for the clock, rtc and
regulator drivers since v5 which was posted on June, 26 so I thought that a ping
just to be sure it was not forgotten was not that bad. But sorry I won't do it
again and will just wait.

About the many re-spins, as most mfd drivers this PMIC support touches different
subsystems and the series had many patches so each time I had feedback for some
patches I prepared a new version and reposted the whole series. This doesn't
mean that all the patches changed from version to version though, some patches
have not changed for several revisions.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you are not busy or might be on holidays. I
guess I just got anxious due the merge window being close...

Best regards,
