Hi!

I'll need your real name to apply a patch.

> Hi, all. This is a patch fixing an out-of-bounds error due to lm3697_init expecting the device tree to use both control banks.  This fixes it by adding a new variable that will hold the number of used banks.

Ok, so I assume this is only problem with certain device trees, and
not a problem with dts' in mainline?

This is not trivial patch, no need to cc trivial tree. OTOH Ccing
Marek who did a lot of cleanups in -next might be useful. Doing that
now.

Best regards,
