It's true that it has been only a week since I posted v8 of this series but I didn't have feedback for the clock, rtc and regulator drivers since v5 which was posted on June, 26 so I thought that a ping just to be sure it was not forgotten was not that bad. But sorry I won't do it again and will just wait. About the many re-spins, as most mfd drivers this PMIC support touches different subsystems and the series had many patches so each time I had feedback for some patches I prepared a new version and reposted the whole series. This doesn't mean that all the patches changed from version to version though, some patches have not changed for several revisions. > In general I would recommend taking a step back, slowing down, and if > you are not getting a response either thinking of something else to do > in parallel or trying to do things that make it easier to accept your > change if there are any (sometimes it's just a case of waiting).

I guess I just got anxious due the merge window being close... Best regards, Javier
