I'd suggest you send them again after the merge window. Maintainers
often miss patches coming in, or have a long backlog of patches
to look at.

Greg is usually very good at applying patches for the serial drivers
very quickly, but if he hasn't applied the patch within a week, it's
probably not on his radar any more.

For the pinctrl patches, I see that Linus Walleij picked up a couple
of them, and if he missed this one that was probably an oversight, so
just send him a ping or send the patch again with [PATCH RESEND] in
the subject.
