Can't you use pdev->dev.of_node instead of searching for it again?

If so, you could also remove that.

I think that's all just:

module_platform_driver(vt8500_gpio_driver);

(except that _init uses platform_driver_probe() rather than
platform_driver_register(), which seems unusual. I guess that explains
the of_find_matching_node() above too.)

That should be "GPL v2" given the license header.
