So it looks like all these patches are ready for merging now,
the only thing which is missing is an Ack from Pavel or
one of the other LED people for patch 5/7.

Pavel can have your ack for merging this through another tree
please?

So what is the plan for merging this?

I see 2 options:

Option a:
1. Merge the GPIO changes (patches 1-4) through the GPIO tree; and
2. Merge the leds + pdx86 changes through the pdx86 tree

Option b:
Merge everything through the pdx86 tree, and I will then provide
an immutable branch + signed tag for other subsystems to pull
(if they want to).
