Hi Serge

I suggest you split this patchset up. This uses the generic GPIO
framework, which is great. But that also means you should be Cc: the
GPIO subsystem maintainers and list. But you don't want to spam them
with all the preparation work, which has little to do with the GPIO
code.

So please split the actual GPIO driver and DT binding patches from the
rest. netdev can review the preparation work, with a comment in the
0/X patch about what the big picture is, and then afterwards review
the GPIO patchset with a wider audience.

And as Jakub pointed out, nobody is going to review 60 patches all at
once. Please submit one series at a time, get it merged, and then
move onto the next.

Hello Andrew
Right, with all that preparation work I've forgotten to Cc the
GPIO-subsystem maintainers. Thanks for noticing this.

Regarding the 60-patches. Please see my response to Jakub' post in the
first series. To cut it short let's start working with that patchset:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210208135609.7685-1-Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru/ (local)
I'll rebase and resubmit the rest of the work when the time comes.

Regarding splitting the series up. I don't see a problem in just
sending the cover-letter patch and actual GPIO-related patches to
the GPIO-maintainers with no need to have them added to Cc in the rest
of the series. That's a normal practice. Splitting is not really
required. But since I have to split the very first patchset anyway.
I'll split this one up too, when it comes to have this part of changes
reviewed.
