Yes, naturally, this series is quite old, and we had some changes and 
fixes in pinctrl meanwhile.
I didn't find time in the last cycles, but will send an update *after*
-rc1 is released. So just a bit more patience ...

Cheers,

P.S. What was the particular purpose of you sending this email? I can't 
help to feel this is AI generated, isn't it? But the breakage is 
obvious, and as you can imagine I am well aware of my patch having been 
merged, and other patches in the vicinity which I authored or reviewed 
conflicting. In fact I regularly rebase my branches on every -rc1, I 
just didn't get around to send a new version.
