Your backport looks good, but this one depends on commit 01cca93a9491
("gpio: unregister gpiochip device before removing it") which needs to
be backported as well. I tried to convey this in the stable tag:

Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v2.6.27: 01cca93a9491

I'll respond to this message with a tested backport of both patches.

Thanks,
