I may have, as of yesterday, a testable gpio/spi driver for the pi4b, it
appears the major change is the base address of the gpio stuffs. One
conditional define, maybe.

I'd assume so too, but then the pi4 announce no doubt caught the debian
folks busier than that famous cat covering his output on a tin roof.
truly good support if lots of changes may wait for bullseye. That IMO
can be laid on the Foundations doorstep, the deeper the better, as they
should have been sharing that under an NDI of some sort. Catching your
folks out does not a pretty picture of the Foundation paint.
Thanks David.
