But why did you remove the help? Please, put it back.

This is a dead code when the respective config option is not selected.
Or actually a potential flaw if somebody else names their swnode like
this.

Instead of this prefix, define pr_fmt()

Why? I already said that the best place is gpio/property.h as it's
exactly for swnode related code.
