Regarding the above module question and Kconfig definition, since I
first looked at this and reviewed the comments I realized I should be
using builtin.  The file gpio/Kconfig is currently this

config GPIO_ELBA_SPICS
        def_bool y
        depends on ARCH_PENSANDO_ELBA_SOC || COMPILE_TEST

I typed the wrong filename.  I do still have <linux/of.h>

I was simply stating that I followed the recommended API per the
source code although I don't recall if I was looking at 4.14, 5.10 or
linux-next at the time.  Changed to using
devm_platform_ioremap_resource().

Yep, I've removed the extraneous log message.
