maintenance?

Redundant change.

Ditto.

Ditto.

Ditto.

dev_warn()?

After this change the use of PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() becomes unjustified, what about
if (IS_ERR(led->aux_gpio))
?

But the problem here is the ignorance of important error codes, such a
deferred probe.

What you need is to switch to devm_gpiod_get_optional().
