No, gpio_is_valid() returns a boolean. I think your patch is fine as it is is.

Probably Mark meant something like this:

        ac97->sync_gpio = of_get_named_gpio(pdev->dev.of_node,
                                            "nvidia,codec-sync-gpio", 0);
        if (ac97->sync_gpio < 0) {
                ret = ac97->sync_gpio;
                dev_err(&pdev->dev, "no codec-sync GPIO supplied: %d\n", ret);
                goto err_clk_put;
        }

        if (!gpio_is_valid(ac97->sync_gpio)) {
                ret = -EINVAL;
                goto err_clk_put;
       }

But that is not needed because of_get_named_gpio() returns either a valid GPIO 
number or a error code.
