Yes, especially since I spotted an unrelated bug in my patch.
Regarding this though, I just thought (smallish) variable length
arrays were ok. But I guess smallish isn't very exact...

Yes, I never liked that include, but I don't know how to get
from struct gpio_desc * to the relevant struct device *
without it...

It's this line that needs it:

gpio_dev = &gpio_dec->gdev->dev;

If you can replace it with something neater, go for it!
