If we fail here, reset_gpio will be set to the gpio the was requested.
The main reason for this would be that the gpio has already been
requested, so any subsequent lcd operations could potentially mess up
some other code.

Same as above.

Consider switching to gpio_request_{one, array}. Besides making
everything cleaner, it would also provide error checking for the
unlikely case that the request succeeded, but the direction setting
failed.

Also agreeing with Manjunath. This patch should be merged with the
adjust lcd gpio patch. The patches depend on each other and the
resulting patch is not big enough to warrant a split.
