This is a huge patch which affects multiple separately-maintained
subsystems.  I can't take it as-is and it's not compileable in a tree
which doesn't define CONFIG_PMIC_DA9052.


A way to proceed with this patchset is to get the core PMIC_DA9052
support patch merged and to then send the various dependent patches to
the relevant maintainers.

What _is_ the core patch, btw?  Seems that it's "MFD: MFD module of
DA9052 PMIC driver".

An alternative way of getting it all merged up is for us to ask Samuel
to merge _all_ the patches, after receiving suitable acks and reviews
from suitable people.  Or I can do that.

I think the second way is better.  Sam?
