This seems like a separate patch from the other 19 patches so please send it
separately so I can handle logistics easier in the future.

Why do you even keep this around in the device state container?
As you only use it in the probe() function, use a local variable.
The descriptor will be free():ed by the devm infrastructure anyways.

Nice.

Is this really needed given that you set it low in the
devm_gpiod_get_optional()?
