While I agree this is a correct change, it is going to break some
existing code - at least sound/soc/tegra/tegra_{wm8903.c,alc5632.c}. I'm
happy to send patches for those files though (is this going into 3.5 or
3.6?). However, have you audited all existing callers (including
indirect, e.g. through plain of_get_named_gpio()) for issues this will
cause?
