Should this not be handled by runtime pm nowdays ?

ulong cannot be < 0 and doesn't need all the brackets

This makes some fairly specific wiring assumptions about how the ak8975
is configured. I'm looking at the ak8974 driver in our tree and also
wondering if they can be combined sanely.

I would have expected these to return a meaningful error code not 0 ?

This seems odd as an interface as it's raw when the maths to provide
non-raw (and thus abstract and easy for user space) data is trivial
enough to do in kernel

(but then I still suspect it should jusst be an input device of course)

It may not be via a GPIO. Better to do the GPIO handling in platform
abstraction or accept passing IRQ and no GPIO value to mean "just use the
IRQ". Ie do all the gpio foo if (data->eoc_gpio) { ... }

This frees the GPIO twice ?

Looks basically sound to me.
