Haha, I have the same in my internal tree, but then I have changed to
_if and here is why:
- the API is solely for internal use (note, internals of struct
gpio_desc available for the same set of users)
- the current users do only same pattern
- I don't expect that we will have this to be anything else in the future

Thus, _if is a good balance between scope of use and naming.

I prefer to leave it as is.
