Yay!  Thank you for doing this--the driver looks much cleaner now.
That code was super gnarly before.

NOTE: any chance I can convince you to CC LKML on patches like this?
There's no patchwork for i2c so I can't easily grab this from
patchwork unless you CC LKML.  That also has the nice benefit that I
can refer to this conversation in perpetuity using the magic lkml
kernel redirector: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/<msg_id>

I personally am not setup for testing snow these days, but it's
possible that +Marek Szyprowski and +Krzystof Kozlowski might be
interested in testing?  If necessary I can dig through my boxes and
find a snow to test, though.  Also possible that linux-samsumg-soc
could have someone paying attention who cares about exynos-5250-snow.

I don't think devm_gpiod_get() handles error reporting for us, right?
So do we still need the "dev_err" if not EPROBE_DEFER to let the user
know that something bad happened?

Trying to wrap my head around why you chose devm_gpiod_get_index_optional().

With devm_gpiod_get_index_optional()
- if gpiod_get_index returned a real GPIO: you'll enter "if"
- if gpiod_get_index returned -ENOENT: you won't enter "if"
- if gpiod_get_index returned diff err: you won't enter "if"

If we changed the above to:

  dummy = devm_gpiod_get_index(dev, "their-claim", 1, GPIOD_IN);
  if (!IS_ERR(dummy)) {

...then:
- if gpiod_get_index returned a real GPIO: you'll enter "if"
- if gpiod_get_index returned -ENOENT: you won't enter "if"
- if gpiod_get_index returned diff err: you won't enter "if"

So I _think_ you don't need the _optional() variant, right?

I'll also note that the purist in me would want to handle
-EPROBE_DEFER even though it's highly unlikely you'd end up in that
state.  AKA:

  dummy = devm_gpiod_get_index(dev, "their-claim", 1, GPIOD_IN);
  if (!IS_ERR(dummy)) {
    ...
  } else if (PTR_ERR(dummy) == -EPROBE_DEFER) {
    return -EPROBE_DEFER;
  }


Other than my nits this looks good to me.
