Err...  no, it isn't.  I reviewed a previous version of the patch but
there were some issues that needed fixing.  I've not reviewed this
version.

Please use gpio_is_valid() as Phillip previously suggested.  For this
particular use you could simplify the code marginally by just setting
is_enabled at probe() time if there's no GPIO, not that it really
matters.

_cansleep(), please, as previously requested.

Can this fail?  It returns an int...

As previously requested please don't split for log messages text over
lines unless you have to.  It makes it easier to find the message from a
kernel log - grep for 'configure enable GPIO' won't match this source
file the way you've written it above.

Probably better to soldier on and use the GPIO here but either way is
fine; the warning is for the benefit of existing out of tree users to
help them transition gracefully.
