Will change

That is the question, isn't it?! I have looked around and I couldn't find anywhere sensible where to
call gpio_rcar_free from in such a way that would be somehow balance gpio_rcar_request from
gpio_rcar_irq_set_type.
Thank you for suggesting irq_request_resources and irq_release_resources on IRC, it seems appropriate
to me, and after testing it everything seems to be working fine, I'll send a new version exploring this
option, and I'll wait for valuable comments.

Well spotted, will fix
