As Russell mentioned, the 80 char limit changes are churn. I looked at
the variable name renaming and that's also churn with little benefit.
The only changes that are probably worth doing are alphabetical ordering
of include files, fixes for mult-line commenting style and usage of
macro for register offset.

As I started reviewing these patches, I also started fixing some of the
comments I had and I have pushed the resulting work here:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/nsekhar/linux-davinci.git/log/?h=devel-gpio

It is only compile tested, but I hope this will serve as good starting
point for your next submission.

Thanks,
Sekhar
