A lot of vendors don't have much active upstream participation, they
outsource that work to people like yourself by just ignoring it.

Bartosz is applying GPIO patches now, but my principle was that
when I feel a patch makes the kernel look better after than before the
patch and no new version is coming, I just apply the patch.
This is how we deal with "perfect is the enemy of good" in practice.
That said, we are all grateful for any improvements you manage to
sneak in!

Yours,
