The UP board <http://www.upboard.com> is the computer board for 
Professional Makers and Industrial Applications. We want to upstream 
the UP board 40-pin GP-bus Kernel driver for giving the users better 
experience on the software release. (not just download from UP board 
github)

These patches are generated from the Linux kernel mainline tag v6.0.

  mfd: Add support for UP board CPLD/FPGA
  pinctrl: Add support pin control for UP board CPLD/FPGA
  leds: Add support for UP board CPLD onboard LEDS

Why are these patches tagged RFC now? Weird.

Came to think of this:
Shouldn't the subdrivers for pin control LED etc have:
default MFD_INTEL_UPBOARD_FPGA
i.e become y if the core driver is y, becomes m if the core driver is m.
Of course it is possible to run around in menuconfig and activate them
all manually interactively and be frustrated that something is missing
still but setting them default like this saves everybody's time. Activate
the MFD core driver and everything else comes with it, then it can
be turned off at request.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

I have just checked the v3 (previous version of this) and I haven't found any
evidence that I gave my tag or permission to use it. What the heck is going on
here?!
