Hi,

Thank you for the review.

I've just listed both for v2 of this patch.

That is not necessary, the fix will automatically get picked up in
the relevant stable series based on the Fixes tag (in my experience).

This was intentional I've added the following comment to the commit
msg for v2:

"The regulator register-range now marked volatile also includes the
buck regulator control registers. This is done on purpose these are
normally not touched by the AML code, but they are updated directly
by the SoC's PUNIT which means that they may also change without going
through regmap."

Hans
