Hi Lee,

I never did see this applied copy of the patch loop around via linux-next
and conflict with my local copy of the same patch.  Same for 3,4,5,6 of
the same series (patch #2 was not applied; it was dropped in favour of
a redo as a tristate conversion.)

Just wanting to double check I didn't mess something up that caused them
to get silently dropped after the fact, before I prepare to send any additional
mfd patches to be considered for your 4.9 content queue.

Thanks,
Paul.
