Yes, you're right, it seems better like that.

yes, good idea !

I don't understand what you mean.
You would like another _init() function for non-DT board ?
Well, I thought that non DT board could handle their GPIO init (like I
did in atmel_serial.c for platform_data based boards), but still use
the mctrl_gpio_{get,set} functions.

Ah ! I missed devm_gpiod_get()
I'll use it.

Well, I'd rather not separate this patch from at least "patch 4/4
tty/serial: at91: use mctrl_gpio helpers"
because if the patch 4/4 is merged before this one, the compilation
will fail, and git bisecting will be a pain.
Or there's another solution ?

Thanks !
