Last time I changed my #includes from asm/foo.h to linux/foo.h, it was
also wrong :) But now I researched that for irq.h checkpatch.pl had a
bug (patch sent), for io.h it is unknown and uncommon to replace it
(still recommended according to lkml) and for gpio.h it is probably the
right thing to do.

Still, using <linux/gpio.h> does not really avoid the #ifdefs if the
priority is to produce less code in the driver. It does avoid them if
the priority is simply to remove them (for the price of having an
integer and two small blocks of code as unused overhead). May I assume
that it getting rid of #ifdefs has priority?

Will change the comment.

I also realized that I should register/deregister the gpio-pin in the
driver; used to have this in the boardsetup, sigh. Will send an updated
version later today.

All the best,
