That's not right. Calling gpio_set_value() v.s.
gpio_set_value_cansleep() should be based on the properties of the
calling context, not the GPIO being controlled. In other words, if it's
permissible to call gpio_set_value_cansleep() at this point in the code,
simply always call that, and remove the conditional logic.
