Again - why you do not add CC-stable? If you need observational bug
effect to the commit message you can add:

<<When max77686 regulator was configured to GPIO controlled mode, the
overflow of 32 bit regulator ID could switch off completely different
regulators. This could happen because for other regulators the value of
"GPIO controlled mode" means "disabled".>>

Although I did not saw such effect of overflow in testing, it actually
should happen looking at the code.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
