The sole purpose of this patch is that to fix the breakage introduced in
832f5dacfa0b. Before that change, the driver was working without using the gpiod
API, and it is working again after this change.
Converting the driver to use the gpiod API needs more changes. Even if that is
preferable it should be implemented in separate patch(es) in my opinion.
