Excellent series, applied all and pushing to the build servers for
testing.

Interested in the job to go over to drivers/pinctrl and check if we
have some dangling descs there if this works out?

If time permits, I will be improving the resource management for
interrupts (generic-chip, domains etc.), so I may end up in pinctrl at
some point.
