Still feels to me like it should be the providers job to the restore the state rather than expecting the consumer to re-request any state it had. But lets wait and see what Linus thinks.
Also not sure if you have seen this chain, but probably worth a look:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg200649.html
It is adding support to the GPIO code for controllers that can have options to retain state across reset, not the same but probably at least slightly related to this series.
Thanks, Charles
