But error handling here just increases code size, and gpio_request in init 
function should always succeed. It means something's going really wrong 
(kernel bug or misconfiguration) if gpio_request fails. Btw, Ben suggested to 
use WARN_ON in machine init, look through init functions of qt2410, n30, 
rx1950, vr1000, etc.
