There's some potential for breakage here.  include/linux/gpio.h has

#ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_GPIO
#include <asm/gpio.h>

#else

...

#endif


So if there's some configuration which forgot to set
CONFIG_GENERIC_GPIO, the driver will be switched over to use the
include/linux/gpio.h stubs and will break.

Please convince me that this cannot happen ;)
