Thanks for the review. I will rework this to reuse the PL061 driver with
per-variant register offsets, and evaluate modeling each GPIO bank as a
separate DT entity. The duplicated GPIO implementation will be removed.

Thanks Long, I think it will be easier if you break out the pin control
bindings and driver from the patch series and work on it separately,
the same with the serial driver at least.

I understand this can be hard to test on the hardware, I usually
put a few patches "underneath" the b4 cover letter, and then the
b4 send-email will only send the cover letter and the patches
on top.

The problem with that advice is then 'base-commit' is useless.

Maybe b4 could learn an 'ignore the top N commits" or "only track the
first N commits".
