Ideally you would have squashed the fixup into the merge commit. With
the history as it is now you introduced a commit (i.e.  1681956cb79c
("Merge branch 'i2c/make_remove_callback_void-immutable' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux into devel"))
that fails to compile the pinctrl-cy8c95x0 driver. Also a better subject
line than "pinctrl: fixup for "i2c: Make remove callback return void""
would be nice, I would have mentioned 'cy8c95x0' at least. (But this is
mood of course if your tree is already stable or you remerge and
squash.)

This commit touches quite a lot of files and subsystems. In the first
revision I added all affected maintainers and lists. vger refused the
mail because the the headers got too long.

Best regards
