OK I've applied the updated version below which does not make the
TWL GPIO probe to fail on errors.

Yes we should not need the callbacks just to set TWL GPIO numbers
when booted with DT so this problem will disappear.

Updated patch below for reference, I kept your ack hope that's OK with
you.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: OMAP2+: Fix LCD panel backlight regression for LDP legacy booting

Looks like the LCD panel on LDP has been broken quite a while, and
recently got fixed by commit 0b2aa8bed3e1 (gpio: twl4030: Fix regression
for twl gpio output). However, there's still an issue left where the panel
backlight does not come on if the LCD drivers are built into the
kernel.

Fix the issue by registering the DPI LCD panel only after the twl4030
GPIO has probed.
