I have created 2 patches to add bypass support for LDO6 on the as3722 [0].

Thanks. I have tested the patch, but as I mentioned in my response, the
issue is still not resolved even my patches for as3722. Hence, I have
not sent out my patches yet (although I verified they are working and
detecting bypass correctly).

Unfortunately, I am leaving for a weeks holiday starting tomorrow.

Laxman, Thierry, if you have some time to look at this over the next
week that would be great. Otherwise I will pick it up when I get back. I
don't think that it is too hard to resolve, we just need to add support
for bypass on LDO6 for as3722 (hopefully I have done this now) and then
ensure the bypass voltage is read correctly when registering the LDO.
Mark's initial patch to do this [1] is not working so far.

By the way, this issue has been recently exposed by a change to the
regulator core (bisect showed the problem is first seen after commit
fa93fd4ecc9c "regulator: core: Ensure we are at least in bounds for our
constraints" was added).

Cheers
Jon
