Linus Torvalds 623fb9912f Pin control fixes for the v6.19 series:
- Fix the mt8189 register base name order back from being fixed
   broken.
 
 - Add REGMAP_MMIO to the pic64gx-gpio2 to avoid build breakages.
 
 - Mark the Qualcomm lpass-lpi pin controller GPIO chip instance
   as sleeping to fix lock splats.
 
 - Update .mailmap with my new kernel.org address for all old mails
   after maintainers ran into issues with this.

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
