This doesn't apply beacuse of other changes made to the driver by
Phil Reid et al.

Can you please rebase your work on top of my gpio "devel" branch:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio.git/log/?h=devel
and at the same time fix Geert's reported const thing?

I'm overall happy with the patch series and would like to apply
also patches 2-5 for v4.9 soon.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
