Maybe this is a nitpick but it is one I have now raised three times and
I don't recall any response, what symbols from this header are used in
this file?

AFAICT everything defined in this header includes the string "gpio" and
that string doesn't appear anywhere in the file (except this line).

Come to think of it, are you sure you need this include? devm_kzalloc()
doesn't comes from this file.

This is unused. Please remove.


Other than that, looks good!
