I have resurected removal patch from Davide Ciminaghi 
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/64236c96ff620d64aa46d0fc3dac159a98c64709.1375867291.git.rubini@gnudd.com/

And I will add it in my series 
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-gpio/list/?series=315826 
prior to patch 4 in next re-spin (likely in a few days) because patch 4 
is otherwise requiring modification of gpio-sta2x11.c

Thanks
Christophe
