The patch titled
drivers/base/regmap/regmap.c: just send the buffer directly for single register writes
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
drivers-base-regmap-regmapc-just-send-the-buffer-directly-for-single-register-writes.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: drivers/base/regmap/regmap.c: just send the buffer directly for single register writes
From: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When doing a single register write we use work_buf for both the register
and the value with the buffer formatted for sending directly to the device
so we can just do a write() directly. This saves allocating a temporary
buffer if we can't do gather writes and is likely to be faster than doing
a gather write.
