Yes, and it is the preferred sequence of calls according to the 
documentation of devm_request_and_ioremap.

Yes, it needs to be freed, thanks! The !label case is kind of OK as the 
gpio system assigns some other label if it is NULL, but I'll require it 
instead to make things easier.

I guess not.


Thanks for the feedback! I take care of the other comments as well.
