It's a text in a free form that sheds light on how the module will be
named in case the user will choose "m".

2020, 2021 sounds okay as well.

I.o.w. dead code, right?

I'm not sure I understand this. How comes that pin control core will
ask for a pin higher than npins?

No, this is wrong in the same way.

I meant that you need to pass the real return code to the (upper) caller.
Ditto for all other cases (mentioned and not mentioned)

The pin control subsystem along with the GPIO library are using
-ENOTSUPP error code for internal operations.
EOPNOTSUPP is the one that should be returned to user space. Is it the
case here?

What's the point to add more blank lines where they won't add any value?
