Using this requires cleanup.h to be included.
Does any of the included GPIO headers guarantee that inclusion implicitly?
Even though, it's a good practice to include headers of what we are using
independently if other (library) headers include them. I.o.w. we can rely
only on our headers (here HTE framework related) to guarantee any inclusions
implicitly.
This also applies to other users of the same construct.

Not sure how many users of this kind of match, but it might be useful to have
it by GPIO library
gpio_device_find_by_fwnode()
