My real name is Gabriel David.

not a problem with dts' in mainline?

Yes. 
Here's the current node I'm using that causes this bug:

&i2c_5 {
        status = "ok";

        ti_lm3697@36 {
                        compatible = "ti,lm3697";
                        #address-cells = <1>;
                        #size-cells = <0>;
                        reg = <0x36>;

                        led@1 {
                                reg = <1>;
                                led-sources = <0 1 2>;
                                ti,brightness-resolution = <2047>;
                                label = "white:backlight";
                        };
        };
};

>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.

Sorry for that. Gonna CC Marek from now on.

Btw thanks for the quick response!
