Since 39b2bbe3d715 (gpio: add flags argument to gpiod_get*() functions) which appeared in v3.17-rc1, the gpiod_get* functions take an additional parameter that allows to specify direction and initial value for output.
Use this to simplify the driver. Furthermore this is one caller less that stops us making the flags argument to gpiod_get*() mandatory.

gentle ping.
I intend to make the flags parameter mandatory for 4.3. So if this patch doesn't make it in for 4.2-rc1 I'd like to take it as part of the respective gpio change via the gpio tree.
What's your plan regarding this change?
I had planned to send a second pull request for 4.2 with some additional hdcp patches that depend on scm changes coming in via arm-soc tree for 4.2.. if that is ok, I can include this patch with that second pull req.. otherwise I'm ok with Dave applying it directly or you taking it in via gpio tree. Either way is fine by me.
Mildly related:
Rob, would it make things a bit easier if we have you listed in MAINTAINERS for the msm/freedreno driver ?
Uwe, you might have greater input if you explicitly CC the {unofficial,} maintainer of the relevant driver. Some drivers don't have one explicitly listed in MAINTAINERS, so git log tends to help there :-)
