Linus,

Please pull the following set of gpio-aggregator updates into your tree. This will allow you to apply the final patch in this series containing the pinctrl driver for AAEON UP boards.

Thanks,
Bartosz

lib/string_choices: Add str_input_output() helper (2025-08-11 15:39:31 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Immutable branch for the pinctrl tree to pull from

Refactor the gpio-aggregator module as a prerequisite for merging the pin controller driver for AAEON UP boards.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Thomas Richard (9):
gpiolib: add support to register sparse pin range
gpio: aggregator: move GPIO forwarder allocation in a dedicated function
gpio: aggregator: refactor the code to add GPIO desc in the forwarder
gpio: aggregator: refactor the forwarder registration part
gpio: aggregator: update gpiochip_fwd_setup_delay_line() parameters
gpio: aggregator: export symbols of the GPIO forwarder library
gpio: aggregator: handle runtime registration of gpio_desc in gpiochip_fwd
gpio: aggregator: add possibility to attach data to the forwarder lib/string_choices: Add str_input_output() helper
