[Linus Walleij]

Hi Timur,

thank you for your perseverance. I am sorry that I am sometimes not
fast to respond :(

I have applied both of these to the pinctrl "devel" branch so we
can see if all is fine.

They have Stephen's ACK so I am happy with them, I am just
still slightly worried about possible regressions because of
patch 1.

I see this one is still under discussion.

If nothing drastic happens with patch 1/2 in linux-next
it should be fine if you just resend this single patch in subsequent
submissions.

I think it may be worthwhile to keep Andrew Cooks in the loop for
future submissions as he's trying to solve similar problems for
AMD.
