This needs some more verbose commit message and explanation.

Note: GPIO = General Purpose Input/Output.

This doesn't really sound like general purpose, more like special
purpose.

Consider drivers/input and drivers/connector classes for example.

At least tell us *what* it is detecting the presence of.

Apart from this it has some of the same issues pointed out in the
other drivers, correct these as well.
