Hi Jonas,

overall I'm really happy of how this has turned out!
Sorry for not reviewing very intensely the last two weeks :(

Dynamic arrays at the end of struct is a bit of a security pain
and we probably want to avoid them if we can.

The typical idiom should be:
...
    u32 num_gpio_mux_states;
    unsigned int gpio_mux_states[] __counted_by(num_gpio_mux_states);
};

(...)

glm->num_gpio_mux_states = ngpio;

We use this pattern in the core gpiolib for example.
