This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio:ad7266: Fix support for optional regulators to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From e5511c816e5ac4909bdd38e85ac344e2b9b8e984 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2016 13:53:33 +0100 Subject: iio:ad7266: Fix support for optional regulators The ad7266 driver attempts to support deciding between the use of internal and external power supplies by checking to see if an error is returned when requesting the regulator. This doesn't work with the current code since the driver uses a normal regulator_get() which is for non-optional supplies and so assumes that if a regulator is not provided by the platform then this is a bug in the platform integration and so substitutes a dummy regulator. Use regulator_get_optional() instead which indicates to the framework that the regulator may be absent and provides a dummy regulator instead.
