Sorry :(

OK I see.

I will add a patch like this to the series!

Ah I see this regulator driver really excercise all corner cases of
these nonexclusive GPIO lines. (Which is good!)

Indeed devres is not going to like adding the same thing twice.

I just sent a fix for that, subject:
"gpio: devres: Handle nonexclusive GPIOs"
you could perhaps try it on top of this
series? I intend to merge that separately as a fix for current,
as it is a bug.
