Applied "regulator: act8865: Remove "too many regulators" error handler" to the regulator tree

[Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>]

The patch

   regulator: act8865: Remove "too many regulators" error handler

has been applied to the regulator tree at

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] regulator: act8865: Remove "too many regulators" error
 handler

The check would dereference pdata, which can be NULL in the non-DT
use case.

Nothing will break if pdata->num_regulators is larger than the number
of regulators that the driver defines: pdata->num_regulators is only
read in act8865_get_init_data() to iterate through pdata->regulators.

The error handler might have some value as a sanity check on the
platform data, but the platform data could be broken in many other
ways that are not checked for (unknown IDs, duplicate IDs), so I see
no reason to perform only this specific check.
