I tried to keep the series bisectable while having different patches for
the drivers and the core. By splitting this 'ena_gpio_valid' field into
a seperate patch, the rest of the drivers will still compile and work
until the core condition was changed to ena_gpio_valid.

But I can squash the three patches into one.

Best regards,

Markus
