Sigh. Ok, so I now stumbled across the Ack from Rob that you didn't
pick up. Don't do it like that again, please. If Shawn prematurely
bases his code on top of unacked patches, then that's his problem, not
yours.

The problem still remains though, since the gpio-reset binding hasn't
seen an ack on the list, as far as I can tell. And I'll have a comment
on that as well in a minute, see separate reply on that patch.
