Yeah! Finally it looks and works right. Feel free to add my:

Reviewed-by: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@...sung.com>

and

Tested-by: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@...sung.com>

(to patches: 1-2, 5-10 and 13-15).


One more thing - if I got everything right, gpiod_put() in
*regulator_register() error path has to be removed also in
wm8994-regulator.c and arizona-ldo1.c.
