Hi,
this patch, looks odd to me.

The next devm_acpi_dev_add_driver_gpios() will fail, should we return 
immediately?

Should we return immediately?

Here, we return 'ret' which is what is returned by 
devm_acpi_dev_add_driver_gpios(). So there doesn't seem to be a link 
with this block which checks for gpiod_get_optional() errors.

Moreover, returning an error for something that is optional 
(gpiod_get_optional()) looks strange.

Finally, should an error be returned, maybe PTR_ERR(gpio_pa) would be 
better here.


Just my 2c.
