Progress so far for the RFT...

I tried applying the patch series on 6.6-rc1 and it did not apply cleanly,
some patches I needed to manually apply and correct. With all this, it failed
compilation at some spi/spi-bcm2835 driver. I disabled that and was able to
compile. I thought I should let you know this part.

Now, I tried to test the hte and it seems to fail finding the gpio device,
roughly around this place [1]. I thought it would be your patch series so
tried to just use 6.6rc1 without your patches and it still failed at the
same place. I have to trace back now from which kernel version it broke.
