The check works.  With the check in there, PM8916 GPIO doesn't work.
However, the consequence is that not only user3 but all GPIO leds under
'leds' node will fail to register, because any GPIO led's failing on
create_gpio_led() makes leds-gpio driver probe fail as a while.  That's
how leds-gpio driver works.

Also, per schematics, PM8916 GPIO1 is indeed routed to user3 LED on
db410c board.  Why do you think apq8016-sbc device tree shouldn't use
the GPIO for that at all?  Isn't it firmware's fault that the ownership
of the peripheral is not properly configured?
