Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 0/4] simplefb: Add regulator handling support

Hi,

Patches 1/2 look good and are:

Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@...hat.com>

And the approach used for the regulators in them is also:

Acked-by: Mark Brown <broonie@...nel.org>

So patches 1/2 are ready for merging.

Jean-Christophe or Tomi, can you pick up patch 1 &  2 please ?

Regards,

Hans
