RE: [PATCH v2 00/22] mfd: demodularization of non-modular drivers

[Steve Twiss <stwiss.opensource@diasemi.com>]

Hi Paul,

I will not be able to make these changes to support modularity any more.

Although the support.opensource@diasemi.com e-mail address for Support
is still working, I will not be able to review your patches if you were to re-send
them again.

Regards,
Stephen
