Watch out; irrelevant whitespace change here. From a maintainer point of
voiew, I'm less confident about a patch when I see unrelated whitespace
changes because it suggests that there are things in the patch that you
don't intend. It helps me out a lot if this stuff gets scrubbed before I
see it.

Why is this flipped around? I don't see any functional reason for this
change.

In actual fact, since the driver needs both it only needs to test for
the of_id. If there is no node, then of_id will never be set.

It would make for simpler code all around if num_banks was cached in the
vt8500_gpio_chip structure during the .probe() routine. It looks wrong
to be calling of_match_device() in the remove hook.

Otherwise this iteration looks much better.
