Hey Andy,

is that one on the way already? I meanwhile also found a possible
configuration issue in my patches you carry on top. And i suggest to
include or squash
[PATCH] leds: simatic-ipc-leds-gpio: make sure we have the GPIO
providing driver

in this series.

I am also working on adding more models which have GPIO based LEDs. All
the patches are based on this series because it is where i currently
introduce GPIO based LEDs for simatic. I would not want to change the
ordering but at the same time i would like to meet 5.20.

regards,
Henning
