Oh damn, that was far from English. I meant:

The useful information would be whether it can be applied independently
from that patchset.

>>From the sentence above I would guess not (in that
case don't send it as separate patchset)... but from the code I think it
could (because it depends on MFD_ACT8945A so no build errors).

Anyway please mark it explicitly - it helps the maintainer to make the
decision.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
