Yeah, the warning was introduced by my patch. It's not trivial to fix
because the twl-regulator driver modifies the data used to probe devices
during probe. That is the result of two probes might depend on their
order. I mentioned that problem in the cover letter of my series but got
no feedback from someone feeling responsible for this driver.
Arnd sent a patch for that problem, don't know its state though.

Best regards
