I don't really care about the 80 character line limit in two circumstances:
1. if a printk format string needs to go over the limit, so be it.
2. comments against #defines when it's reasonable for them to be there
   provided its not excessive.

Looking at these patches, it seems sane.

That's fine, and the patches to me at least look fine as well.  The only
thing which gives me slight concern is the:

	if (!gpio_request()) {
		gpio_direction_output();
		gpio_free();
	}

stuff, but I guess you can't get around that easily, especially if those
GPIOs only become available at some time later.  It is something that
eventually needs to be addressed though - consider that this can lead
to unexpected (and silent) failures if the GPIOs aren't available when
another driver initializes, and can't (eg) turn on the IrDA tranceiver.
