Re: [PATCH v2] pinctrl: starfive: use dynamic GPIO base allocation

Hi Emil,

Thanks for the review and feedback.

My apologies for the confusion. I did add the removal of unused 
variables as a bullet point in the v2 changelog (which is in the email 
body), but I failed to include the necessary justification for this 
removal in the main commit message itself.

You are correct, the justification for removing `gc_base` and associated 
macros (because we now use `sfp->gc.base = -1` for dynamic allocation) 
belongs in the permanent commit message.

I will update the v2 commit message to clearly state the removal of 
macros and unused definitions (before "Signed-off-by") in the v3 submission.

Understood. I will send the next revision as a new thread.

Understood. I will include your Reviewed-by tag in the v3 patch.

Thanks again for the review!
