I see it in:

https://lkml.kernel.org/g/1436862596-27730-4-git-send-email-tomeu.vizoso@collabora.com

Which was given in:

https://lkml.kernel.org/g/559D8E36.50209@wwwdotorg.org

But we still need an ack for patch 1/3 before both 2/3 and 3/3 can be
merged, because if we don't defer the probe when the pinctrl isn't
found and just skip adding the gpio-range, there won't be no
gpio-range set at all if the pinctrl device probes after the gpiochip
device. Merging 2/3 now would be fine as long as we don't merge 3/3
before 1/3.

Thanks,

Tomeu
