This is a resend as V7 was dropped due to a merge order conflict.

What were the dependencies and why will simply resending this resolve
them?

the dependency was the mt6323 support inside the mt6397 MFD device [1]
and the headers that it included. this has been merged so the regulator
driver is good to go for 4.8

No, that's not resolving the dependencies - if I apply these patches
without the dependencies in the regulator tree that will still break the
build for my tree until after the merge window.  It'll also break Linus'
tree if (as is normal) I send my pull requests early on.  I'd need to
merge the MFD commits into my tree which would need coordination with
Lee, he'd need to make a tag for me to pull in.

hi,

maybe i am missing something here, but i can see the dependencies inside
the for-next branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git. is
this not the tree i should base patches on for v4.8 ?
