Looks alright this time, except:

I think you really mean >= 0 above. And the casts aren't needed. You
should also reset lpc_ich_gpio_save and lpc_ich_acpi_save to -1 after
restoring the values, it matters if the device is removed and re-added
through sysfs.

This cleanup is missing from the error path in lpc_ich_probe, BTW. You
may want to move it to a separate function so that you can call it from
both lpc_ich_probe and lpc_ich_remove.
