Unfortunately, they don't all work - see my other email.  The SD slot
is non-functional with the latest sdhci-xenon driver.  The previous
revision worked fine.

Right, so this is all one way.  It would have been nice to have had a
heads-up or something, which would have aided co-operation instead of
confrontation.

The point you replied to was about pinmux/gpio, not about Marcin's patch.
So you trying to twist this back to Marcin's patches is unhelpful.
Stop being a problem.

Except that the SD slot is broken.

Anyone can produce and post untested patches, but that's not really
the point of kernel development.
