Several MFD patches for stable

Several MFD patches for stable

[Igor Grinberg]

Hi Greg, Chris,

I've found several MFD patches that I think should have been
applied also to stable, but they hadn't been applied
(probably because nobody cared to send them to stable@vger.kernel.org).

The patches are upstream:
e178ccb33569da17dc897a08a3865441b813bdfb (mfd: Fix mismatch in twl4030 mutex lock-unlock)
66cc5b8e50af87b0bbd0f179d76d2826f4549c13 (mfd: Copy the device pointer to the twl4030-madc structure)
d0e84caeb4cd535923884735906e5730329505b4 (mfd: Check for twl4030-madc NULL pointer)
3d6271f92e98094584fd1e609a9969cd33e61122 (mfd: Turn on the twl4030-madc MADC clock)

I don't know what is right flow that I should follow
to get those into the stable tree.

Thanks for any assistance.

Read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt for how to do this (hint, you
did it properly, with a only few minor things missed.)

What kernel version(s) do you want these applied to?  What order should
they be applied in?

thanks,

Ok, I've applied these 3 to the 3.0-stable tree now.

And this one to both 3.0-stable and 3.1-stable.

Sorry for the late response, I've just got back online...
Yes, it seems correct.
Sorry for making you work more then expected...
I will specify the relevant kernel versions next time...

Thanks
