I hadn't seen that one, my patch was a somewhat older series to
convert a couple of subsystems over from the old of_get_named_gpio(),
with no special interest in this platform.

It looks like the patches are fairly similar, with two differences
I can see immediately:

- I use the normal devm_gpiod_get_optional(), while Bala uses
  the fwnode variant that should not be needed here since the
  fwnode is the one for the platform device itself.
- I use the normal gpiod_get_value(), which will handle polarity
  as specified in DT, while Bala's patch uses gpiod_get_raw_value().
  The difference is what happens when the GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW flag
  is set in the DT, and the possible combinations with the
  "cd-inverted" flag. I did not test my version, so I assume
  Bala is correct here, but it would be good to review this
  carefully either way.
