Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Low-level code quality improvements in the opentitan repository focused on the gpiodpi module. Delivered removal of an unused signal, finalizing cleanup that began with earlier work removing the signal's usage. The change is captured in commit 4beea10cb5e296edd3a90dff6d5d9645bee03d4d and references prior cleanup in 2fbc7eb for traceability. Impact: eliminates dead code, reduces review overhead, and clarifies the gpiodpi interface without altering external behavior. This supports long-term maintainability of the GPIO DPI path and aligns with the team’s emphasis on clean, auditable code.
