>>> You need the "gpio_22" in the mux_init, so using a define would imho introduce a potential source for an error, at least when the define would not be anywhere near the "gpio_22" and someone would forget change the string too, when he changes the define. So I don't think a define adds much value there.

I see. Is the new patch version somehow provides better functionality?
You configure the gpio for output, this means that the pin is actually driven
and not just relies on internal pullup (which can vary from chip to chip).
I know nothing about that msecure stuff, but may be it is better to drive the pin,
then just configuring the mux (enabling internal pullup)...

The original patch version is already in Linus' tree, so this one will not apply as it is.
If you decide it is better then the original one, then it must be rebased.
Otherwise, looks OK.
