Sure which happens in free() anyways.

The point is you can't disable the debounce clock if the back in use.
But I get your point. In case other in use GPIOs from bank doesn't
need debouce feature, we can turn off the debouce clock.

I agree. Just go ahead and spin the patch.

Yep. Just mentioned above.

Sounds good. This function can track the debounce back usage
and based on that do the deb-ounce clean-up.
