We are doing "acpi_dev_put(adev);" a few lines above, so using adev in
the call to fwnode_gpiod_get_index() is technically use-after-free,
isn't it?

Also, why can't we do

	cs35l41->reset_gpio = gpiod_get_index(acpi_dev, "reset",
					      cs35l41->index,
					      GPIOD_OUT_LOW);

since acpi_dev is device structure corresponding to adev and we are
getting the rest of the properties from it?

I saw downthread that there was supposed to be a patch addressing
several issues raised by Andy, was it ever submitted?

Thanks.
