Where possible I prefer not to apply non-DTS/DTSI patches on top of
DTS/DTSI patches, I believe this is in keeping with how the ARM SoC
maintainers like things handled.  With this in mind I have done the following:

1. Queued up the DTSI patches (patches 1 - 3) for v4.3 in my dt branch.
   I intend for this to turn up in next soon.
2. Queued up for pinctrl patches (patches 4 - 6) for v4.4 in a pinctrl patch.
   I intend for these to be present in the renesas devel branch but
   not in next until after the release of v4.3-rc1. I would also be
   happy to drop them and let Linus Walleij take these patches for v4.4,
   assuming patches 1 - 3 are accepted for v4.3.

OK.

Will the world explode if I try to queue the pinctrl patches 4-6 in my
tree now for v4.3? Then I prefer to defer to v4.4. Else I can merge
it in parallel?

There won't be a mapping between gpio and pins in any branch having the
pinctrl changes but not the dtsi changes.

It sounds to me that Linus should take his option 2; defer to v4.4.
In which case I should drop the changes from my tree (they are not in next
anyway). Please let me know if thats the way we will move this forwards.

Sounds fine to me.

And in the unlikely event we discover regressions in v4.3-rc1 due to having
the dtsi changes without the pinctrl changes, we can still fast-track them
into v4.3-rc2.

Sounds like a plan.

Hit me on the head about this once v4.3-rc1 is out!

Yours,
Linus Walleij
