That's true. It probably means I should set up a tree now, before we get
too close to the next merge window.
On the topic of drivers/char/{nsc_gpio,pc8736x_gpio,scx200_gpio}, I wonder
if we should move them to drivers/gpio/nsc_gpio despite the fact that they
use a different (older) interface than all the other gpio drivers.
They have seen only a single non-janitor patch in the last five years,
so I don't think they will be a burden, but it might be nice to have them
in a place where people would actually look for them, with a comment that
they should be converted to the new API in order to be more useful.
