I merged the irq core patches into

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git irq/for-gpio

This branch can be pulled into the GPIO tree to avoid pull request
dependencies.

Thanks,

I side with Thomas: thanks for working hard and doing the right thing
here where many would have given up.

It's exactly this deep integration of new drivers that make the kernel
provide such great infrastructure and clean drivers.

Now I feel I need to understand this think good enough to spot
the second driver that needs to do this already during early
review ...

Yours,
Linus Walleij
