I fixed the legitimate issues poited out by sashiko locally and will
send a v2 in the next days. From the v2 changelog:

- fix serial0 unit address in t6030.dtsi, drop erroneously added 0
- Fix device node reference in pinctrl_{nub,aop} gpio-ranges in t6030.dtsi
- fix i2c6 unit address in t6031-die0.dtsi
- fix cpu_p25 reg value in t6032.dtsi
- drop unnecessary aic interrupt-controller from t6032.dtsi
- drop "label" from keyboard pwm led node
- fix copy-n-pasted pinctrl in compatible strings in the apple,s5l-fpwm
  dt-binding commit message
- fix yamllint errors in apple.yaml and fix warnings in newly added
  lines
