    Thinking distors and loadable modules, for PMICs, only regulators need
    to be built-in in most cases. That's at least the case for example with
    drivers/mfd/motorola-cpcap.c.

    I'd say applying these patches makes sense unless we have people
    step up and fix their drivers.

    Regards,

    Tony
