Do you send PRs to Bart or you just rely on him to take the patches?

The whole problem started from clashing in MAINTAINERS. If you plan to
be part of the intel/ subfolder then I assume you want to be part of
some common Intel GPIO repository / maintenance. So far I have the majority
of the Intel GPIO drivers to go via my tree.

TL;DR: whatever is related to Intel, but not currently goes via my tree,
I leave to the respective maintainers to decide what to do.

So USB/novalake/graniterapids all have own maintainers, so for now I leave
them under drivers/gpio.
