For dwapb, I can still acchieve the clean up w/ only embedding the
pointer. But I'm not sure whether embedding the struture deserve a seperate
patch.

BTW: as Michael mentioned during v1 review, the driver allocates the
struct with kzalloc and stores a pointer to it, so considering the
pointer itself and the kmalloc overhead/alignment etc, current gpio-dwapb
have an overhead in the same order of magnitude when PM=y
