Sadly no. The merge window is open.

I am waiting for feedback from the maintainer(s) mainly Björn.

There are only so many people I really trust with reviewing
qualcomm pinctrl code: Björn and Stephen mainly.
Especially for the core of the driver.

>From what I have understood Qualcomm has one finger constantly
on the fast-forward button for upstreaming right now, which I think
is good (everyone should have!) but the limited number of trusted
maintainers of core infrastructure code makes bottlenecks form
around these drivers where review is really needed and deep queues
of patches form. Sorry.

If the manpower shortage persists maybe we can seek some
review from other major contributors to these drivers?
Varadarajan and Neil for example?

Yours,
Linus Walleij
