Sorry for late reply, this patch makes impossible to use GPIO
descriptors. Now it's broken in two ways as I can see.
I fixed one, and is right now hunting another problem.

P.S. Perhaps no need to revert, just heads up.

(That's why would be better to have GPIO descriptors everywhere in
this driver and tested)
