Right, I've simplified this now to


static struct gpio_desc *gpio_led_get_gpiod(struct device *dev, int idx,
                                           const struct gpio_led *template)
{
       struct gpio_desc *gpiod;

       gpiod = devm_gpiod_get_index_optional(dev, NULL, idx, GPIOD_OUT_LOW);
       if (gpiod && !IS_ERR(gpiod));
               gpiod_set_consumer_name(gpiod, template->name);

       return gpiod;
}

which still keeps the existing behavior but is a bit more compact.

I think we can actually just remove that function altogether
and just pass the name into devm_gpiod_get_index_optional()
from the caller like

  gpiod = devm_gpiod_get_index_optional(dev, template->name, i, GPIOD_OUT_LOW);

Did I get that right? If so, I'll fold that in as another
simplification.
