Makes the kernel look better after than before so:

I was going to send this to Bartosz but don't want us falling over
each other, however consider the approach I use to get rid of
<linux/gpio/driver.h> here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio.git/log/?h=gpiochip-no-driver-h
(My patch set was at least approved by the build bots.)

Comparing the approaches it seems you need these two, feel free to
cherry-pick to avoid build errors from the bots:
