Hi Eric and Russell,

Since more than a month I've been trying to have a fix applied in the PXA tree,
since v3.13-rc6. I cannot reach Haojian, and Arnd seems unresponsive too.

The history mails are in [1], the patch in [2].

Your are the 2 other maintainers of the PXA tree, Could you please help me ?

Cheers.

Recent changes to the pwm-backlight driver have made the power supply
mandatory. There is code in the regulator core to deal with situations
where no regulator is specified and provide a dummy, but that works on
DT-based boards only.

The situation can be remedied by adding a dummy regulator during board
initialization.
