Trivially broken how? Your mail in the original thread, if i read it right, 
only claimed that it depends on CONFIG_REGULATOR being present while ideally it 
should be invariant to the value of CONFIG_REGULATOR:

 | Since the regulator on the device is optional this isn't the best fix, the 
 | code should be updated to support building without regulator.

If there is some *other* bug there as well then of course it should be fixed 
instead of worked around.

Thanks,
