Sure: https://gist.github.com/Dan-Emutex/6382c25f4b8b8cdd80e6056889cdf48b
I'll add this to the cover letter for v3 as well.

These were added in response to one of your review comments on the original patch-set ;)
I think they do slightly improve the code readability so I'll leave them there if there are no objections.

Yep, much neater.  I'll change that, thanks!  Ditto for the other comments on this file.+ ret = upboard_init_gpio(dev);

I left this out for now in case it causes any awkwardness with merging.  Hope that's ok.
