Hi Andy,
finally I found some time to get back to this one. For anyhting I didn't
comment on, it means I am okay with your suggestion. Thanks for the
review!

Have you tested this snippet? I am totally open to add ACPI but it
should be tested, of course. Is there any on-going effort to add ACPI
pin config?

After reading this*, I agreed they are not really needed.

I don't want to save bytes here. I sorted the struct for cachelines,
important members first.

I don't understand the first sentence. And we still need it to clean up?

Because generally you lose the old pointer on error. But we don't here
because we are using managed devices.
However, I see that all kernel users of devm_krealloc() are using a
seperate variable and then update the old one. I can do this, too.

They are not. The gpio names come from the user via DT or ACPI and can
have an arbitrary length.

Will think about it. I think the former is a tad more readable.

I forgot, have to recheck.

I'll think about it!
All the best,
