Collect masks and new values in temporary variables and apply them
once after the loop is done, no?

Pity. The rule of thumb is to either try to use devm_*() everywhere in
the probe, or don't use it at all. Above is the more-or-less standard
pattern where devn_add_action_or_reset() is being used in the entire
kernel.

Then don't use devm_*() at all. What's the point?

Heh... `man git grep`
Hint: `git grep -n 'of_node = .*of_node' -- drivers/gpio/gpiolib*`
