Heh, yeah we even removed possibility to unbind the driver with that
commit. Totally forgot that one.

Good question. I'm fine with both but I would really like to get some
confirmation that turning the driver to module actually does not break
anything.
I have one Minnowboard MAX here but it does not do any ACPI magic for
GPIOs so testing on that one might not catch all possible issues.

Runtime PM actually does not do anything - there is no way to power down
the GPIO controller in Baytrail.

I agree + really good explanation in the changelog why this was done.
