Thank you for your work on this.

The entire series looks good to me:

Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hansg@...nel.org>

for the series.

There is the question of how to merge this. I think it might
be best for the entire series to go through the power-supply
tree.

Ilpo would that work for you and if yes can we have your ack ?

Sebastian, IMHO this should be merged as fixed not as for-next
material.

Regards,

Hans
