I tried to apply this but it failed, does it require patch 1?

I can pull in the next -rc after I merged the fix in that case
and we can apply on top.

__gpio_*
I tend to dislike __underscore_notation because I feel it
is semantically ambguous. I prefer a proper name, even
to the point that I prefer inner_function_foo over __foo,
but it's your driver and I might be a bit grumpy. :)
