Hi Lech,
glad to hear this.
I wanted to keep the patches separate, to not interfere with fixing the GPIO regression, but now I see that it caused way more headaches than anticipated :)
I will integrate all the sc16is7xx patches in a new serie and it should be easier to apply/test.
And let me know if the patch to reduce the number of exported GPIOs is working as expected for you.
Thank you,
Hugo.
