I have added patches 1-5 to my personal tree + a small debug patch on top
which logs when soc_exec_opaque_gpio() actually gets called.

So these patches will now get run every time I run some tests on
one my tablets.

I'll get back to you with testing results when I've found a device where
the new soc_exec_opaque_gpio() actually gets called.

As for the CHT support, I have not added that to my tree yet, I would
prefer to directly test the correct/fixed patch.

Regards,

Hans
