Actually that is a perfectly valid reason.  Thank you for the
clarification.  I (used to) receive 100's of reviews a week for
drivers that either have nothing to do with me or because I conducted
some basic clean-up / fixed warnings, etc.  Since I changed my email
address, things have improved a great deal, which is why this stood
out.

So I believe that patch was written to support one of the Lenovo
laptops booting in ACPI mode.  Please see sdm845_acpi_reserved_gpios
for reference.  Please ensure your patch does not break this
use-case.

Bjorn (who has now reviewed) would know this best.
