I understood that. In this case however it would in my eyes have made
sense to take these patches together with the patch that does the driver
split via the pwm tree to make it less likely that people using the
respective defconfigs don't get the PWM driver enabled. That's the
situation now on 5.1-rc1 and people actuall hit this problem. :-| That's
why I wrote:

	I think the easiest handling would be to let them go via the pwm
	tree with Shawn's Ack to get the update near to the actual split
	into the mainline.

in the cover letter.

Best regards
Uwe
