I'd rather not do that, because this patch fixes the request/free problem
and the second is changing the functionality (e.g. configures the gpio as input)

This is something that can be done, though I fear the code readability
will suffer. Is it worth?

You mean, _should_... ;)
Otherwise, the patch is not complete.
