Thanks a lot for picking the max77686 preparatory patches.

Mark, Mike and Alessandro,

This is a gentle reminder to look at the patches that touches your subsystems
and provide acks if possible so Lee can merge the remainder set through the mfd
tree.

There were only trivial changes for the regulator, clock and rtc drivers since
v5 (posted almost a month ago in Jun 26) and this series is blocking a lot of
other patch-sets so is hurting forward progress on the chromebook2 platform as a
whole.

Lee,

Since I may not be able to get the acks before the merge window opens, do you
think that is possible to merge patch 01/13 "mfd: max77686: Add Maxim 77802 PMIC
support" which already has your ack?

So at least we can get the dependency for the other drivers in 3.17 and avoid
this cross subsystem churn for 3.18 since the rest of the drivers will be able
to go through the relevant trees.

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Javier
