Find in this email a comment from Greg about RFC:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-gpio/YwS4WDekXM3UQ7Yo@kroah.com/
This patch is marked as "RFC" but I don't see any questions that you
have here.  Please resolve anything you think needs to be handled and
submit a "this series is ok to be merged" version.

May be this is applicable to this patch as well.
