/me confused.

That commit was reverted later, so it shouldn't matter.

I have just verified, and both my full series and just this single
patch, do apply fine to all of current gpio/for-next, linus/master, and
next-20200327.  They even apply fine to gpio/for-next before or after
the two cleanups I sent, too.

What am I missing?
Thanks!
